Shadow boys trudge by,
Blistered foot yet their hope high,
At last they summit.

Lesson: rarely is it ever worth it but it wouldn’t kill you to try new things.

Climbed my first 14’er on Sunday. For non-Colorado people that’s climbing a mountain that has an elevation higher than 14,000 feet. Would I do it again with friends? Sure. Would I do it by my own choice. Probably not.
