When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain — a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak. I was overweight at the time and became breathless after reaching the top. But I loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than myself, and soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks.
I often go climbing with my friend Mel. Two years ago, on 30 December when I was 16, we drove to tackle 11, 240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snow. That day, we started at 3 a.m., though the temperature was extremely low.
Five hours later, we reached Devil’s Kitchen at about 10,000 feet. However, the wind was blowing fiercely. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead since we thought we were well prepared.
The path became harder and harder to climb. At around 9 a.m., we reached a narrow ice step. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack and fell backwards. I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything. That helped but I was still sliding. Finally, I stopped somewhere above the Devil’s Kitchen. Having fallen 600 feet, I found my face bloodied.
To make sure if I still had my senses, I asked myself, where are you? Mount Hood. What’s the date? 30 December. Good. My brain still functioned. Then I took a survey of my body, starting with my head, then my neck and arms. For the most part, I was fine, except for a sharp pain in my left leg. Strangely, touching my left leg, I couldn’t feel anything, so I tried to make my toes move. Fortunately, that worked — I wasn’t paralyzed (瘫痪).
