Different yet the same

9-second 2020 video: The Garden Wall, Bishops Cap, and Pollock Mountain from Mt Oberlin trail.

The West side of the Garden Wall. The past few day’s videos show the other, Eastern, side.

Photo: From a mile lower in elevation and from the opposite side of the Continental Divide. Driving back to West Glacier for the night. Looking back at The West side’s Garden Wall and Mt Gould. What i saw from Piegan’s summit and what you see here are dramatically opposite, even though we are looking at the same geographical location.

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Impossible, right?

man hiking in mountains
Never tried to overcome my fear of heights. It happened naturally from slow and steady repetition. Gradually doing things i felt uncomfortable doing, but not paralyzed from doing.
Baby Yoda toy on mountain summit
Piegan Glacier. This is the first 9,200′ summit i did solo. It wasn’t planned, it just happened. i kept following the animal trail (no hiking trail is present).

Impossible is for amateurs.

Video: Piegan Mountain 9,200’…first solo summit (2020)…just kept following an almost invisible animal trail…reflecting on my paralyzing fear of heights and how, without trying over the years, i got over it.

Wait, what wait?

You know what stinks about waiting? Not being able to tell apart when we should and when we shouldn’t.

Jerkasaurus

Having a body and not taking care of it is like working in a customer service department and being a jerk to the customers.

Roger that!

I sometimes think that running has given me a glimpse of the greatest freedom a man can ever know, because it results in the simultaneous liberation of both mind and body……The runner does not know why he runs. He only knows that he must run……We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves.

Roger Bannister

The morning of May 6, 1954, Roger did the impossible. He broke the 4-minute mile barrier, and set a new world record in 3:59.6

The current world record is 3:43.13 set in 1999.
