If one of you is slow on uphill and fast on level ground and downhill, and the other one the opposite, then you end up with a great amount of alternating swearing.

I see your tape and raise you a full set of clothing: once went on a quick overnight trip with a friend and he turned up in jeans and a T-shirt, and a bag of chips. I had to give him my "sleeping" clothes just so he wouldn't die of hyperthermia. After a number of similar incidents I now have a deal with him that I "Cater" hikes - I provide all food, beverages and transport and give him an invoice for his share at the end.

If there's an easy way, I'll find it on the way back. If I'm lucky . . .
I vaguely remember one exception to that rule, but I can't remember what it was... perhaps it was in a dream.btw, have you ever noticed: the highest point on the mountain is always at the furthest end of the ridge from the main access point.
