Aging
As difficult as it is for me to get older, it's also hard to see my good friends getting older too. This is my friend Kay and her granddaughter Ambry. They were up skiing at Snow Basin and called to ask me out to lunch. I can no longer keep up with them on the ski slopes as Kay is an excellent skier. I don't like black diamonds and prefer the Bunny Hill. I've done a few black diamonds but freak out if they get too difficult. It's probably because I'm very afraid of heights. One time I was climbing the Grand Teton in Wyoming with my husband and his brother Robert.
We were almost to the top (at the upper saddle) but stopped to camp for the night. I was so happy when a ranger turned everyone away the next morning because of bad weather. I was becoming sick with anxiety about the last stretch of the climb. If you want to see how difficult it is, google to see the exposed overhangs. From the upper saddle it's still a 6 to 8 hour climb to advance two miles and 2700 feet in elevation to reach the summit. The Grand Teton is 13,776 ft. tall (4,178 m.)
