go.

“We
pull on our gloves and head out, not a bit of skin to be
seen, knowing that our efforts are probably futile. We
trudge out of the shelter into the wind that pelts our
faces. We bend forward to fight the strong gale pushing our
bodies backwards. I feel invigorated and excited to be
trying this, my fifth peak of the seven summits. “Kosi” is
only an 8 mile hike and by far the easiest peak I will
climb, but today it does not seem that it will be an easy
attempt at all.” |
