I'm Baack
My last post was in August 2011. It was telling about my experience of having a heart attack just below the south ridge of La Plata Peak. Well, almost 3 years later, I made it to the summit. My brother and I summited La Plata July 4th for my first summit since. You can't imagine the euphoria I left when I summited. While I am not all the way back (it took me 10 hours up and back), I am on my way. Hopefully, there will be several more this season. Oh, I am the one in red.
