Happy that you were diagnosed and are recuperating Thomas. At least you are familiar with your mountain so you can attack it again next year. It must have been very scary and frustrating to feel so strangely in such an intense environment. Glad to have you back!
that you survive. Probably your mountaineer's heart was still strong enough to bring you safely down the mountain and back home. Take it easy and rest. I am heart attack survivor and it is hard with damaged heart muscle to do anything without suffering.
Take it easy and you'll be fine after recovery time.
My best to you.
Happy climbs in the future.
Hope your recovery goes well. Nice to know you will be able to recover fully. Enjoyed your report and hope to get to the same mountains in the next year or two. I just married a German woman so I know we'll be headed your way soon. Cheers!
I´m glad that you liked the report! Maybe we´ll meet next year on a sharp ridge in the Alps - I´ll look for an american climber with a german wife! ;-) Cheers, Thomas
Hey great story. I am really glad you are ok. Just grab the bull by the horns, hang in there, and challenge those 4000ers, which will be there much longer then we will.
Sounds good! I'm on my way back now, so not this trip. Is December too soon? If not, then next June or July. It's funny cause my last trip I couldn't find anyone to go with, so I went solo. Being solo, I met someone in the Alps, which is why I'm coming back so much now. Fred & I welcome other climbing partners! Let me know when you are back at it!
Thanks for sharing. Reports like this will help others make better decisions under similar circumstances. I know you will get another chance at that summit. Hope you feel better!!!
