Mountaineering

For a large portion of my life I HATED being cold.  I couldn't stand the thought of being anywhere without a sweatshirt.  Then I discovered mountaineering, and cold became a test of tolerance.  To endure the hardship of the mountains (including the cold) is to truly live in my opinion.  I have big hopes for the future, and my dream is to make a trip to the Pakistani Himalayas one day.
