Loved this! What a story! Couple of good chuckles in there, too, despite the disappointing outcome. Your writing here seems fluid and comfortable. How did a return to memoir style feel after a lot of fiction?
I'm glad it's coming across fluid! I spent many hours massaging the 'telling' into 'showing' to make it seem that way haha. The good thing about the true stories is I don't have to create the arc, just identify it and try to bring out the lessons. So that's slightly easier for sure. The fiction has the fun of discovery though. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Even though I have heard it from you before, reading this really brought home to me the extreme challenge of it. A chilling account. With you every step of that gruelling climb. Well done!
Thanks for reading Liz! It was definitely one of the greatest adventures of my life (so far). Writing it up just solidified that feeling that it was all about the journey really. Though I would have liked to stand on that peak!
Really enjoyed reading this. Thanks for sharing 😜
Thanks for reading!!

Thank you! Makes me want to go back and try again haha
What a story! Even though you didn't get to the top, you were brave and fit enough to attempt it.
