Shasta update
for those of you that requested updates on the Shasta climb this weekend here it is… I FUCKING FAILED. this weekend was my first failed summit attempt and that for me is a VERY hard pill to swallow. for one reason or another i was struck down by severe AMS at 10,300 feet. i was unresponsive and was physically forced to start climbing down the mountain. im fine physically but mentally devastated. sorry to let you all down.
this is an amazing photo
