I Feel Like I'm Climbing As Well,

May Your Boulders Be Your Blessings. May You Be Able To Embrace Them. And May You Find What's Extraordinary In Yourself.

When I Climb A Fourteener, A 14,000-foot/4,260-meter Peak, In The Winter By Myself, I Leave An Itinerary And Information About Where My Vehicle Will Be Parked And The Name Of The County Sheriff To Contact In Case I Don't Get Home.

What You're Looking At There Is My Arm, Going Into The Rock... And There It Is, Stuck. It's Been Without Circulation For Twenty-four Hours. It's Pretty Well Gone.

Judging By My Degradation In The Last 24 Hours, I'll Be Surprised If I Make It To Tuesday.

I Was Accustomed To Being In Far, Far Riskier Environments. So I Thought Going Into That Canyon Was A Walk In The Park - There Were No Avalanches, It Was A Beautiful Day And I Was Essentially Just Walking.
