travel and rhum

Hey everyone!

I am going through a though issue. The summer is over and being from a flat land and so far from the mountains, I can only hike during summer time. Now I feel a deep sorrows at my heart because this summer I spent 3 hiking trips in different countries.

What advice do you have for me for someone so obsessed with the hiking in the mountains? How can I keep patience until the next Summer? Any suggestions to reduce my sorrows.

Thank you!

I just had a really scary accident where I tumbled down the face of a mountain, all rocks, at least a 60% grade, for about 200 feet and got stopped by a bush. This was while I was doing some class 3 scrambling on a ridgeline which I’ve done many times before. Didn’t break anything miraculously, but got a severe concussion, lacerations all over my body, slight brain bleed (which stopped right away), and overall pain lol. Not too traumatized and I plan to get back out there, but it really taught me a lesson that anything can happen no matter how confident you are and that we should all be careful out there! Any similar stories?
