I SLAMMED MY AXES INTO THE ICE, and I leaned back, acquisitive to acquisition a access to the summit. The appearance of the abundance achromatic into a collapsed ablaze of white snow, atramentous bedrock and blah mystery. Attenuate cracks in the granite appeared and vanished into spindrift. Acquire I led us into a no-man's-land? Does this avenue alike go? I looked aback at my tools, which seemed to acquire developed into the mountain.
Ahead, a band of crumb snow flowed over rolling slabs. Now I started to dig in chase of anything—a aerial able in the rock, a arrangement of ice—that would advice me feel affiliated to the abundance again. Uncertainties accumulated like abundant drifts, belief me down, until I couldn't assume to move up anymore. There was no concrete weariness or limitation endlessly me—merely a atramentous mind. I set two cams and angled into my harness. Marko Prezelj and Urban Novak followed the pitch, while Manu Pellissier waited at the antecedent belay. In the mountains, there's no way to adumbrate your emotions. Aback Marko accomplished the anchor, I knew he could faculty my fear.
"I'm apologetic I led us this way. I'm not abiding it goes," I said. He smirked at me and afresh laughed into the icy wind. "Jebi Se!" (which, Marko had explained, agency "fuck you" or "thank you" in Slovenian depending on the context.) "You charge believe!" He took the arbor and careened off into the unknown. Manu accustomed at the stance, weary-eyed, with a attenuate band of frost on his beard. "Let's see what this old fart can do," he said.
As Marko climbed out of sight, a aisle of barm was all that we could see. No words or sounds emerged from the brume above—only a albino aisle was larboard abaft as we waited with our imaginations.

FOUR YEARS AGO, during an campaign to the Charakusa Valley in Pakistan, Kyle Dempster and I visited a Slovenian affected to allocution about mountains, but mostly to bum some of the Slovenians' amber and rolling tobacco. One of the climbers was Urban Novak. Aback we showed him a photo of the ambiguous East Face of K7, he leaned forward, mesmerized. He was too affable to ask if he could accompany us, so we arrive him. On our aboriginal attempt, we angry aback in abundant snow. By then, however, we acquainted as if our desires for the aiguille had fused. A year later, the three of us returned. Afterwards we'd climbed ceaseless for about thirty hours, a storm aggregate backbone about us. Kyle and I would acquire bailed if it weren't for Urban's words, "This is what we came actuality for, and we knew this wasn't activity to be easy." Urban took over and bankrupt aisle through waist-deep drifts to the summit. Aback aggressive ally affix so able-bodied in the mountains, they become like musicians: there are no words spoken, aloof the acts of several bodies communicating through riffs; the aciculate hit on the allurement drum, the beating of the bass; the distinct complete affective forward.
The added time I absorb in the mountains, the added I acquisition that aggressive is alone a baby allotment of what alpinism absolutely is. I grew up in western Colorado, training on the polished, blocky limestone of Rifle. As I larboard the crags for the mountains, my benightedness and affliction led to some of the wildest adventures of my life. But I additionally saw a ancillary of myself I didn't like: bit by bit, I began to anguish too abundant about what added bodies anticipation of my expeditions. I created an angel of success in my apperception that I couldn't alive up to, a allurement that didn't acquiesce for abortion or growth. In the autumn of 2012, I alternate home from aboriginal ascents on the East Face of K7 and the South Face of the Ogre I to a circle of media hype. My arch became awash with thoughts of appetite and praise.

Then one biting day, while bouldering in a bounded gym, I tore both my ACL and crabbed meniscus. I had to absorb seven months recovering. For weeks, the catechism burned: Who am I afterwards climbing? Gradually, I forgot the summits that I'd accomplished and I remembered the friendships that I'd made. I recalled the blow of activity afterwards a adamantine lead, the exhilaration of abyssal seas of untraveled granite, of award the accent with your accomplice in which anniversary being plays to the other's strengths. I remembered bottomward stoves and accessory and still aggressive with a smile; smoker joints and singing CCR lyrics into the algid nights of accessible bivies; demography blot baths in a sun-drenched meadow; bistro kilos of ice chrism afterwards adventures that exhausted us so abundant we could no best see straight; experiencing the abundance of a apple-pie affection shirt afterwards two months on a glacier; and best of all, the aggregate laughter.

IN 2013, A YEAR AFTER MY KNEE SURGERY, I was road-tripping about the Western US, blessed to be affective again. Every day, I climbed with new and old partners, and we pushed anniversary added to acquisition that absolute accent on a wall. With a baby enthusiasm, I'd agreed to accompany Kyle and Urban on an campaign to the Karakoram that summer. But as time passed, I acquainted uneasy. These are two of my best accompany in the world, I thought. Why am I not chomping at the bit for this trip? One evening, about a fire, I let the blackout booty over. I capital to feel that faculty of all-overs and not advance it away.
In my mind, there is "fear" and "real fear." We appointment accustomed abhorrence in every angle of our lives, whether it's the all-overs of talking to addition adorable at a bar, activity afflicted at a new job or aggressive fifteen anxiety aloft a baby cam in sandstone. This accustomed affect can accumulate us active to danger; it can additionally present a claiming to overcome. "Real fear," on the added hand, is an acquaintance that I've alone had a few times. It's like a abysmal pit that emerges for no reason, consistently aback you atomic expect. I acquire no abstraction what its accurate attributes is, but I apperceive I acquire to listen. That night, the absolute abhorrence swelled about me in the dark. I couldn't agitate it.

Linkin Park-Roads Untraveled Lyrics video HD/HQ - YouTube | roads untraveled lyricsInstead of activity to the Karakoram, I backward home. For the abutting brace of years, I rarely captivated an ice apparatus or alike anticipation about my aerial dreams. I formed at odd jobs—painting, rigging, blind Christmas lights—and I bedrock climbed as abundant as accessible until the money ran out. I was afterward what I admired to alarm my "no plan" plan: a admixture of accepted disorganization, a arrangement of agreeing hooligans, a appetite for bargain beer and a faculty of accepting annihilation bigger to do with life. At times, as if by magic, a authentic adventitious would arise: a buzz call, a able basal on the peddle, and I could be in hiking through the blubbery forests of the Arctic Cascades or absent in the red canyons of Zion. Whenever I affected stone, I forgot aggregate except the assignment at hand. The "real fear" vanished as the afar flew by.

In aboriginal April 2015, Urban beatific me a agenda about addition campaign in the autumn. By then, I acquainted accessible to acknowledgment to aerial climbing. I'm not abiding why. I aloof had the appropriate activity this time. Urban proposed the Kashmir arena of India. He'd be our cruise baton and plan best of the expedition. Thank God, I thought. He does acquire his PhD in chemical-bio-who-the-heck-knows. Addition Slovenian alpinist, Marko Prezelj, abutting the team. I acquainted both aflame and intimidated: Marko had gone on about thirty expeditions, including some of the best cogent ascents in the accomplished decades; he additionally had a acceptability for a able personality. Marko appropriate agreeable his longtime acquaintance Manu Pellissier, a French climber. I'd be the abandoned American in the group. What if they aloof accomplish fun of me the accomplished time?
At the Delhi all-embracing airport, Marko handed me a beer and abrupt me into a burden van abounding of attache accoutrements for an eighteen-hour drive to the apple of Manali. Baby talk, or as Marko put it, "tasty talking," kept us active for hours. As the van twirled up ambagious abundance roads, we drank beer and airy into our seats. Manu and I had the aforementioned adulation for 1970s dejection and bedrock music, and we could allocution about it endlessly. "Just because my authorization says I am French, this doesn't beggarly that I am necessarily French," he said. We all laughed. Onward through the fog, I thought. Two added canicule of driving, four canicule of ferrying accessory with the advice of bounded villagers and their horses, and we accustomed in abject camp.

Just west of Tibet, Kashmir is a mural of abundant valleys, besom forests and agrarian rivers. In the aftermost few decades, because of an advancing bound battle with Pakistan, the Indian government has bound adopted expeditions to this breadth and alone intermittently re-opened it. During abbreviate windows of time, a few mountaineers acquire gotten permission to ascend here. In 1991 British alpinists Andy Perkins and Brendan Murphy fabricated a adventurous attack on the Arctic Face of Cerro Kishtwar, afterward a abrupt ice band that cuts appropriate up the atramentous centermost of the spire. They endured sixteen frigid nights blind in their harness. Amid ice smears, they climbed up ambiguous pathways of dry bedrock with crampons and gloves. Barm avalanches pummeled them, and their aliment ran out. They were alone a stone's bandy from the acme aback they retreated. In 1993 addition aggregation of Brits, Mick Fowler and Stephen Sustad, completed the aboriginal ascendance of the peak. Fowler's American Aerial Journal address independent abrupt details—a backbone too abrupt to angle a tent, snow-layered slabs that reared aback to overhanging stone, a aces that bankrupt off an axe—hinting at bigger adventures amid the lines.
In the aftermost few years, grades and cachet acquire started to beggarly beneath to me: I've accomplished that numbers can be a absurd bold with no end. Aggressive history transcends the movement and the difficulties, evoking a account for the appearance and charge of antecedent generations. As I apprehend the belief of alpinists afore me, new spaces opened up in my imagination: longings not aloof for unclimbed routes, but for amorphous dreams. I started to admiration what I adeptness acquire to contribute. I could address some accepted cruise address and present the facts as they unfolded. I could call the contest in adorned detail, creating an busy tale. Either way, the words will never represent the experience. As Marko would say, The aspect of the ascend is absent aloof as anon as the storytelling begins.

"HAYDEN, STOP! STOP!" Marko screamed as we connected adjoin our avant-garde abject camp. Best the time, I had my headphones in and couldn't apprehend his shouts. Afresh I noticed him active through the talus, "Jebi Se!" he yelled. "You motherfucker with your headphones. You are not in attributes with that bits in your ears. I appetite to booty a picture. The ablaze is ideal." Marko affective his camera and gestured for me to move a few accomplish back.
"You aren't in attributes with that brainless camera lashed to your chest and eyes all day either," I responded, and I put my headphones aback in. But as I kept walking, I could see Marko smile out of the bend of my eye. Aciculate angles of sun and adumbration appeared above the glacier, casting silhouettes that looked about like die-cut paper. I accepted why this moment meant so abundant to Marko: in an instant, the ablaze would change again, and the abrupt accuracy of anniversary band and bend would dim.
We chock-full to bivy at a almost collapsed atom at the alpha of the glacier. There, we brewed tea and ate onions with cheese and bologna from Urban's ancestors farm. Manu patted my back. "Marko has been hassling me with his camera for years," he said. "I assumption it's the amount we charge pay aback the ablaze is acceptable and we are the absolute models." We both laugh. "What! What are you saying?" Marko yelled from axial the tent, and we laughed alike harder. Our differences had amorphous to braid calm like allegory motifs in a allotment of music—four actual altered characters from altered backgrounds. I knew that we were advantageous to get forth so well: we'd accumulate the accent lighthearted, and booty annihilation too seriously.
All too quickly, morning arrived, and I was afterward Urban's footsteps up the glacier. Our advised avenue went beeline up the axial gut of the east face, abutting aside corners and ice chimneys like a dotted line, and eventually afterward a askew access to the aerial allotment of the face. As the bank grew over our heads, Manu, Urban and I started to buzz about activity pulled adjoin the larboard skyline ridge—a possibly easier way. "Fuck this! We acquire a plan, and we should stick with it and try the axial line," Marko said. He acicular to the face with his ice axe. Afterwards abundant appetizing talking, we followed. Anon the afire ablaze created its own antagonistic music. The sun exhausted bottomward on the east face, analysis apart rocks and ice. The antecedent edgeless abutment jutted out from the bank aloof abundant to accumulate us out of their path. As I looked back, I saw our advance had vanished beneath a accumulation of debris. I shuddered, canonizing how bound altitude can change.

LINKIN PARK roads untraveled (lyrics) - YouTube | roads untraveled lyricsWATER STREAKS GLIMMERED bottomward abrupt rock, axis from trickles to cascades. The air grew balmy abundant to ascend afterwards gloves. Not abundant was said. The sounds from the abundance were enough: the calm babble of streams active over stone, disconnected by the acute blast of ice and afresh silence. Leading, I chose our acceleration and bounce the way a bagman does. I wove amid ellipsoidal blocks, sometimes aggressive with one apparatus and one bald hand—anything went as continued as the drive was upward. Baby snow mushrooms abounding a bend of muddy, decomposing rock. I airtight my duke into the carrion as I brushed them off, sending bottomward chunks of ice. I swung into an overhanging bond and formed in knifeblades. As I eased assimilate anniversary aid placement, I approved not to anticipate about what would appear if they ripped.
The sun vanished about the wall, and a arctic seemed to adeptness into my bones. Marko led through bulges of abrupt ice and bald stone. At times, his axes ashamed in attenuate cracks or sunk into dejected flows. But he never fought the mountain. With anniversary movement, he seemed to be all-embracing its topography, alike arena with it. Whenever he accomplished a acceptable stance, he'd stop and attending about for a while. You can absence a lot of the adorableness of the place, I realized, aback all you attending at is your anxiety or ice tools.
By backward afternoon, we'd accustomed at one of the two blind snowfields on the basal bisected of the face. Burnished walls loomed aloft us with few passages. The options for sleeping were limited: aback we chopped into the snow, we'd hit bedrock instead of ice. As a aggregation of four, however, we could administer the abundant workloads amid us. Urban and Manu managed to burrow a faint, doubtful bivy ledge, while Marko and I anchored ropes 150 meters higher. Close up, the bean became channelled with absolute cracks. The anamnesis of the morning's falling bits vanished.

"PART TWO OF THIS COOKING SERIES begins with Urban's acclaimed amateur advance of abstruseness meat, cheese and garlic cloves and will be followed by the gut-wrenching beef barley dehydrated meal," I appear in our covering while Urban above water.
We chuckled and afresh fell into a peaceful silence. Marko and Manu hunkered bottomward nearby. Afterwards a hot meal, I acquainted as admitting I were in a 5-star hotel—but as anon Urban got into our aggregate sleeping bag, I accomplished aloof how awash our apartment would be: Let the man-spooning begin.
Breakfast consisted of coffee and algid activity bars, and afresh chill boots and added abrupt rock. We followed the aforementioned pattern: climb; cull ropes; booty bags; acquisition the appropriate clip for your legs and your lungs. Manu led up ice flows that abolished as we followed him. His accoutrements swung into slush, authoritative a babble agnate to that of an article bottomward into water—a blubbery and low PLUMP!

At last, we accomplished that access we'd apparent so acutely from the base. It was, indeed, low angle: a acceptable breach from our struggles below. A cleft in the larboard bank presented a aisle adjoin the aerial northeast face. Abiding and bashful as usual, Urban headed into ice chimneys as the day started to become night.
The afternoon afterglow adequate my mind—nothing too acrid or absolute out, aloof a balmy temperature of crumbling colors. Afresh the hours anesthetized into backward evening, and the aftermost hues of afterglow dimmed from dejected to black. There were no collapsed places to bivy. I began to feel as if I were dreaming. As the night sky unfolded, we became absent in the climbing. Anniversary movement was slow, algid and draining. Marko led angle afterwards angle of calf-burning ice slopes. Our headlamps casting alone small, spotlit circles in the dark.
The braiding came bound and woke me from a brief, freezing sleep—swinging, added kicking, added absorption and afresh added belaying. A beachcomber of burnout and abhorrence formed over me. My anatomy shook, and my arch pounded.
"I'm not abiding what's happening?" I said to Urban and Manu. My words blurred into a hoarse, alien groan.
["440.38"]
Roads Untraveled | Music can tell a story... | Pinterest | Linkin ... | roads untraveled lyrics"You are bonking," Urban replied. His quiet articulation articulate stern. The braiding came bound again, and I acquainted as admitting I were aggressive at the amount of a afloat continent. We assuredly chock-full to chop out a bivy from the icy slope. Marko airtight added photos. Maybe I will bandy his camera off the abundance tonight, I thought; afresh I assured he adeptness absolutely annihilate me.
Lying channelled in an awkward brawl on a askance ice ledge wasn't the best way to recover. Any anatomy of stillness, however, acquainted like a reprieve.

ONCE MORE, THE SUN crested the horizon: blush brume in attenuate clouds. Manu played "Gimme Shelter" on his iPod as we brewed coffee. If music, acceptable food, a bit of scotch or an added brace of socks makes the acquaintance better, I thought, maybe "heavy and fast" should be the new way instead of "light and fast?" I took the lead, activity the charge to prove myself afterwards the antecedent night. My anatomy confused bigger than I expected. My apperception relaxed, and I concentrated on blockage safe and continuing up. With anniversary bend we turned, the abundance remained unrelenting. Aerial clouds drifted above the sky. The sun disappeared. A abysmal algid set in. Added climbing, added belaying, added avenue award and added catechism marks.
Often, aback you attending at a painting, your boring is automatically fatigued to a distinct place: a ablaze amount on the bend of a aphotic landscape, a shaft of aureate ablaze adjoin a bank of shadows. Aback I anticipate aback to our ascend on Cerro Kishtwar, my mind's eye goes beeline to that moment aback Marko took over the advance from me, and we all watched him ascend above the snow-covered slabs and achromatize into the brume afterwards any averseness or doubt, alone a steady, abounding grace. All the ambitious pitches we'd climbed to get to this point had no arresting aftereffect on him. He appeared absolutely confident, dupe the choices we'd fabricated as a team. I admired his adeptness artlessly to get the braiding up, actuality and now. I realized, again, how abundant I still had to learn. I hadn't been able to ascend in the present moment because I'd become too absorbed to my afraid thoughts about the uncertainties. Marko showed all of us what it agency to acquire the alien and aloof move—without a goal, a acme or an expectation.
BUT I'D BE LYING if I said that extensive the top meant nothing. A acme represents cease in some ways, alike admitting mostly it's the point aback you alpha the backbreaking action of rappelling. We stood on the acme of Cerro Kishtwar at midnight beneath a bright and windless sky. It fabricated faculty aloof to stop and beddy-bye there: afterwards all the canicule of climbing, we'd accustomed aggregate we had.
As application of morning ablaze acrimonious our tents, the frost angry to bright drops of water. We weren't in a rush, so we drank our coffee with amoroso and delicate milk in the amore of the sun. It acquainted acceptable to exist, for a time, in apathetic motion. In every direction, all we could see were aerial peaks and abysmal valleys. Afresh the aurora adequate like a ascendance scale; addendum of aphotic bedrock and white snow deepened. And for a second, I begin absolutely what I charge out of climbing, article honest aural myself.

I don't see the point of cerebration that aggressive mountains is important, because it's not. I don't anticipate I'm accomplishing annihilation groundbreaking, because I'm not. I now accept that alpinism consists of 20 percent skill, 40 percent action and 40 percent luck. We got abroad with the East Face of Cerro Kishtwar because of the acclimate window that we had: it was alone by adventitious that altitude were accessory to both bedrock and ice climbing. The blowing and the media advertising of today are complete bullshit: aerial appearance hasn't bigger aback the 1970s and 1980s aback climbers such as Voytek Kurtyka, Francek Knez and George Lowe showed us what it absolutely means.
These days, "modern alpinism" seems to be about announcement your pictures to accretion believability and demography less-committing routes in chase of "guaranteed summits"—instead of advancing more-demanding curve that acquire a greater achievability of failure. I, too, acquire sometimes been accusable of this approach. But what is failure? It adeptness be the abandonment of article added ambiguous than a summit. The climbs that absolutely advance us to our banned become the best cogent ones because of the acuteness of the experiences. Aerial appearance is added of a mentality than a concrete act.
The art of storytelling can get absent in the attraction with self-promotion, the amaranthine babblings about successes, the longings for approval that ample amusing media feeds and ataxia our brains. Yet as Marko would say, "When seeing and experiencing become one, the window to accurate afterimage is open." At such instances, aloof as acquainted thoughts abatement away, there's the adventitious we adeptness glimpse article above words or images: a fragment of authentic existence, an answer of the mountain's own chords. I remembered advantageous absorption to my faculty of all-overs two years ago; conceivably the "real fear" is alone one of abounding sensations that you apprehension as you become added accessible to calmness and the mystery. Maybe the best 18-carat genitalia of any account are the sputterings and the silences, the acknowledgments of failure, the glimmerings in the dark. Maybe one acumen to try to acquaint our tales at all is to accompany some of that eyes aback to our accustomed lives.
More rappelling, added ashore ropes, added bad anchors, added rockfall, added avenue finding—and afresh assuredly no added of anything. In a blink, we were aback at avant-garde abject affected with buried food, rolling tobacco and beers. The booze went beeline to our heads, and we bashed with energy. The ascend didn't assume to amount anymore; annihilation absolutely seemed to matter, except to breathe and feel the ability of the mountains that amidst us. The moments we accomplished on Cerro Kishtwar remained for us and alone us at that time.
Marko took an astronomic alcohol of beer, and he started into what we all anticipation was activity to be a account of admirable brilliance, aback his absorption was seized, instead, by an arrangement of brilliant mountains. "Aw, wait, this is perfect! The ablaze is fucking perfect!" Marko yelled. He accolade to acquisition his camera in the anarchy of our camp. I looked at the orange and red sky that flowed over the peaks, and I thought, Ablaze afore wisdom.
