I wrote up my story on One Mile at a Time, a blog about frequent flyer miles and travel, where I contribute weekly. Excepted here:
Travis’ Mountaineering Accident On Mt. Sneffles Part 1“I’m breathing. I can move my hands. I can wiggle my toes. Oh $hit, that leg is definitely not pointing in the right direction. How am I going to get off this mountain?”
Those were my first thoughts as I came to rest face down on a steep rocky slope at 13,900 feet on the side of Mt. Sneffels. I had just tumbled about 30 feet after having misstepped on a rock. My climbing partner and I had been within sight of the summit, but that was of little consequence now. All that mattered was that I was alive but unable to move under my own power.

Sorry for not posting here. Was focused on my recovery for a long time. Doing better now. Hope Justin is too!
