For my summer vacation, I climbed the Grand Teton Mountain!! Talk about putting things into perspective. Rock Climbing is a sport that challenges you not only physically beyond comprehension but also mentally challenges you. It took a day to hike to basecamp were you get to sleep in a tent type hut with 12 other people you do not know. You wake up at 3am to start the climb up the mountain in the dark seeing so many stars that you cannot even find the big dipper that was so clear from the valley. As the sun comes up your view is one that only a few ever see. You make it to the top, something you question from the moment you leave your car, and then you are rushed down before lighting storms roll in threatening your life again. We made it back to our car at 6pm that night. That day was 15 hours of non-stop physical excursion. Cool huh?
Share what you did over the summer.....
