    C is for climbing… but also for Champion. During the 2009 fall Himalaya climbing season, I got an incredible invitation to join a climbing team for an attempt on Pumori, sponsored by Champion Hanesbrands. (The game of gossip telephone in the Khumbu region that season was about the underwear model climbing Pumori — I was neither an underwear model, nor did I climb Pumori. The route was far more technical than my skills appropriate for, and altitude sickness kept me no higher than this — the summit of Kala Patthar. But my word what a trip. I’m sure other pics from that trip will show up here as the alphabet goes on. I wish I still had my old glory days climbing pictures. I was so young, so fit, so strong. So scared. So so scared. I’ve learned so much about emotional regulation and fear and stress and performance … I can’t believe I did as much as I did as scared as I did in those climbing days. #meAtoZ #climbing #travel #adventure #nepal #himalaya

    Quick overview of various descender devices used in #climbing #caving #rescue and other similar activities for rappeling.There's so many of them xDMy device of choice is the ATC also used as belay, since we don't do lengthy rappels and we use double rope, with a backup eight (I just like having it), and finally knowing that mounter hitch knot for panic mode.Sadly I'm forbiden to use the eight, they don't like to deal with the rope mess afterwards xDhttps://youtu.be/D3lHToJqsmk?si=k2PMNV_uXWN3soOd
