[pct-l] Heights

[Sabrina Harrison]

Thanks Gary!! I like grumpy old goats. My favorite type of teacher. 

Rumor has it the only reason the bodies aren’t piling up is because the aliens remove them every night. They don’t like to talk about it, but there you go. Pretty sure Zog told me that...

Interesting side note - I’m adopted and recently found out my birth father was a mountaineer. His brother said he would give me his ice axe. Pretty cool keepsake!

Use the axe properly as self belay and kick good steps and/or improve the steps that are already there. That's the opinion of a grumpy old goat, so keep that in mind.
