All the same, I said I'd see what the thinking was on roff about the
safety of this sort of enterprise.

She is a tough enough cookie. She was on the British Olympic fencing

At elevation 4000' plus, she will most likley find a butt
load of snow. The valley floor would be no problem. The high back
country will wet and very cold . Trails maybe hard to navagate.
