Strong work. Great to see you overcome such a frightening obstacle and get back on that horse. (Not that you're on a horse, of course, because then you couldn't count the summit - oh no! :roll: ).

Thanks for the inspiration.

Good job, welcome back.
I have more age than experience, more experience than knowledge, and more knowledge than wisdom.
Yet somehow I usually make it back to the car safely; and oftentimes, so do the people that I'm with.

Jay, thank you so much for sharing with us. Congrats on the summit too! =D>
Mountains cast spells on me - Why, because of the way Earth-heaps lie, should I be Chocked by joy mysteriously; stilled or drunken-gay? Why should a brown hill trail Tug at my feet to go? Why should a boggy swale Tune my heart to a nameless tale Mountain marshes know?
