Unexpected encounter

Yesterday morning, I went hiking from Empire Pass to Jupiter Peak, the summit overlooking Park City.

The last section of the peak ascent is a narrow ridge with loose shale, that requires a bit of scrambling and that's bordered on one side by a nasty cliff.

As I was where the arrow is placed on the picture, I was startled by two mountain-bikers coming out of nowhere and barreling down the ridge.

I instinctively stepped aside but the two dare-devils didn't even slow down as they passed me.

I thought to myself, these two guys are playing with fire and will soon learn how it feels when their tender skins hit the rocks!
