In the day....
whilst the day dreaming and the do nothings when i just couldn't study....

I got reminded of a glacier experience scary enough to shake me off my guts....

Duh....

Stalled on ice, dizzy, only slightly aware of the massive glacier that sloped away at a 35-degree angle for 2500 feet beneath my toes. My headache...or yes my headache had gotten worse in the preceding hours. The picturesque landscape of snow fields and icy cliffs all around me had compounded to a single image...
I watched the ice crowd my field of vision as I fell until my head hit the left footprint with a loud thud...
And just not far awway I heard the rope group calling "Falling" following sound of ice axes thrusting desperately into the mountain...
And thereafter...the nightmare began....
a situation where my symtoms were getting worse...and death was likely in the forecast...
the only solution was seemingly turn back before I hit summit...
But maybe it was me....
too courageous to quit...
too much to say I'd give up....
I just had to go for it and give it a bamm!

When you come to such a death defying moment...
you'd find how much your apetite for risk and adrenaline rush is like...
You wanna feel it...feel it at Mt Shasta...
slog your way to the Avalanche Gluch... fight death....fight fear and overcome yourself....

Makes you feel like an accomplished person in the world already....better than a million bucks...
Try tripping down to california then...find yourself!
