Maybe it sounds like I downplay the fall but it was more like landing on my ass off a step. Scary to see, frustrating to be the actor.
Getting back to KIA from Ski Hill was the scary part and yes, luck is always a big part. Going alone on a glacier is a Russian roulette no argument there and my stomach was knotted until I reached Heartbreak Hill.
Thank you both for taking the time to read the TR. :)
