I am looking for techniques and advice about crossing natural bridges. So far, I have chosen to get my feet wet. <span style=”line-height: 1.8;”>But I would appreciate advice from those brave hikers who have better sense of balance after watching a fellow hiker fall into a creek after an unsuccessful attempt. </span>
Thanks,

There is no definitive answer but always consider the possible outcome from not managing to complete the crossing – sprained ankle or worse. Getting wet isn’t usually an issue if the weather is clement.
As I mainly walk solo I am very risk averse in these situations and even with a group a fall could ruin the trip.
If in pairs you can lock arms and cross walking sideways.

Yes, and then try it with a 20 pound pack on…
I suppose I will stick to getting my feet wet. My internal balance mechanism is pretty faulty. I am truly greatful that no one was injured.
So if traveling with others, do you let them choose for themselves? Does the adventure trump the safety of the group?
