My uncle insisted we skip the switchbacks on the Timberline Trail loop
He said it would save us 45 minutes, but it was a steep, loose scramble that wrecked my knees. We ended up losing more time because I had to go so slow coming down. Anyone have a similar story about bad shortcut advice on a trail?

Yeah, been there. Stick to the known safe route no matter how tempting.
