Ok, ok so she's not a virgin, but she certainly has never hiked something that difficult until she begged ME to take her out. 
The first mile was all steep uphill on an old logging road. I wanted to show her I meant business (and to make sure she could survive the rest of the hike). Once we hit the main trail it was 2.5 miles of mostly mild inclines and switchbacks with roots and rocks. She didn't think it was that bad and was enjoying herself. At about 2.5 miles from the summit there was a three way fork in the trail so I let her pick. She looked at the sign and picked the trail that 'sounded' the coolest... Timberline Ridge. I can honestly say I've never heard that many new cuss words in one day. 
This trail required the use of your hands through half of it. When we reached the summit and she saw the view, she forgave me. Poor girl, she forgot we still had to get down.
I love exposing new people to the more demanding side of the outdoors. Next time I won't take it easy on her.
