I almost got caught in a hanging glacier shearing off on the descent route on the Eiger in Switzerland on the lower, right side of this photograph.

Gravity affects everything. Stuff that falls to earth and the thin air at high elevations.

Majestic and picturesque, but deadly under certain circumstances!

If I ever get to see the Grand Canyon, I’ll probably feel close to what you felt about the immensity of it all.
I’m not a climber, though. Climbers must think about every single step they take. Correct?

Careful. Watch out for the sanctions, the Eiger sanctions.
