<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3840184, member: 76194&quot;]Not that afraid. I figured from that altitude a free fall was 39 seconds to the bottom of the valley, though if I slipped it would probably be over in less than 8 seconds when I smacked into a rock face below, so not much time to regret my decision. And hey, wouldn&#039;t it be nice for once to do something different with my life? Something I could look back on and remember fondly, or at least go out with a&nbsp; bang trying to accomplish. Not that I took stupid risks...I tried to minimize any risks by carefully studying trail maps for both mountains for weeks in advance, and picking out the trails I thought were less risky (even if it meant a longer hike). I also brought adequate supplies and had an emergency GPS unit I could activate if I got into trouble in case I got into an accident and couldn&#039;t move or make my way down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
