Oh, that's a good one. I how would you rate my and your behavior?
Need I remind you of few trips. Does going to the Tetons knowing full
well that a massive arctic storm is approaching sound like sensible
behavior? Going to ice climb in a blizzard several miles from the
trail head with no bivy gear only to wind up climbing 1500 feet up an
avalanching ravine? What about going to climb an active volcano that
erupts multiple times everyday? Or "free soloing" 200+ feet of 5th
class garbage rock with snow and ice? What did you say about my most
likely cause of death?

> 2. physiological resilience

You swear I can change this but I say it's all in the genes, but you
have me beat hands down on this one.

> 3. equipment, equipment, equipment

Ahh, now here's where I can bury myself, and think I already have.
But still, it's nice to have it, know that it works, and know how to
use it. Last night, I reminded myself what -22 F (-30 C) is really
like, as Aaron and I paid a 3 hour visit to the HPER enviromental
chamber. Aaron found out that his 0 F bag just will not cut it in
that cold, but 2 bags (20 F and 0 F) is quite warm. I found out my
new Asolo doubles are warmer than my Lowas and that I am comfortable
in only running shorts in my -40 F bag. :) Now, I am happy.

Thanks, I needed that.
