Title: Accomplishment.
Post by: JW123 on August 10, 2012, 06:35:36 pm

So about 2 weeks ago I did something that I feel was a real accomplishment. I hiked to the summit of a mountian, Mt. Kinabalu. it was a 2 day hike, and the second day is practically a climb (not a hike) to the summit. It was a TRUE test of my balance. Highly slanted slick rock face with extreme wind. Day 2 to the summit was at night so you could only see what your head-torch was pointed at, so very limited visibility. People with all their full balance were having lots of difficulty, which made me feel good haha.

feel free to look at some of the pictures on my facebook.

Now if only I didnt have these terrible daily migraines I would feel as though I was back to my old self...

Very impressive accomplishment and a clear demonstration of your excellent recovery (except for the headaches, of course.) Congratulations!
