This photo is lifted from a file on my computer titled "Stupid ideas I followed through on." As shown in earlier blogs I have a propensity for standing at the very edge of sheer cliff faces. This was another such cliff. Not quite as long of a drop as the Grand Canyon but still plenty to kill you. The reason? It seemed like a good idea at the time, if fact it still seems like a pretty fun time. The more doltish chose of that particular afternoon was to climb a mountain in Colorado alone with headphones on. If you are a frequent hiker you are away of the myriad dangers presented to anyone simply out in the woods. Those can double and triple on a mountain, this is why most urge to hike with a buddy. This seemed annoying so I went alone. To compound the risk of this half baked idea, I have a condition that causes me to pass out when certain amounts of stress to my body is applied. Heat, strain, lack of air, you know all things that manifest when climbing 1500 feet up a mountain. Without the danger what would be the fun? Needless to say I survived the ordeal, got some good video and pictures, and honestly would probably do it again. Those who don't learn from mistakes are doomed to repeat them loses all weight if you thoroughly enjoyed the mistake.
