I loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen， whom I met in a Facebook group. Three years ago, on December 30, the two of us drove to Oregon to tackle Mount Hood, a 3,400-metre volcano.

It’s safer to start climbs at night, when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. We started our climbing at 3 am, following the paths alongside the ski runs. It was about -10 ℃, and we wore easily removed layers, knowing we didn’t want to get too hot on the climb. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together. After about five hours, we reached a plateau at about 3,000 metres, just before the final push up the mountain. By this point, it felt like my exposed skin was burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but we went ahead.

At around 9 a.m., we reached an ice step about a metre tall and sloping at around 75 degrees. I volunteered to go up ahead of Mel. Then I suddenly heard a crack, and a whole slab of ice broke off the step, right under my toot.

First I fell backwards, and then I slid. I could hear Mel calling my name as I bounced off the rock face. I remember thinking, This is it. You’re done. I stretched out my arms and legs so I wouldn’t turn over down the mountain. I’d fallen about 200 metres. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was broken, and I had cuts and scratches all over my face.

When I hit the ground, I was buzzing. I started to see where I was hurt. When I reached my left leg, I couldn’t feel anything. So I tied moving my toes. That worked—at least I wasn’t paralyzed (瘫痪).

As Mel made her way down, I started yelling for help, and a bunch of other climbers came to assist me.

When we got to the bottom of Mount Hood, I was taken straight to a hospital, where I stayed for four days.

4 . As I put down the exercise equipment, my brain tries to focus on what my trainer has said.

“Describe that to me,” asked Rob. He is looking for an answer that required me to connect my brain to my body.

Yes, I know. My brain is connected to my body — the thing that has been carrying my head around for the last 56 years. Since completing my undergraduate degree I have been increasingly immobilized by my working life. Sitting still at a desk, staring at a screen, it’s mostly through my fingers that I connect to my brain.

“I felt great,” I reply. “I could feel it in my back.” Rob is quick to encourage and set up more weight. Then cheerfully he’ll say “okay, next set.”

Every accomplishment in my life has been centered in my head — grades, degrees, promotions, published papers and teaching. But on reflection, I wasn’t paying much attention to my body.

Weightlifting is different. Rob is a trainer and manager at my local gym, my guide in helping me with a single goal — get strong. Despite my age, size and beginner status, Rob has made me feel safe. He is always close by, watching and posing questions. Like “where did you feel that?” or the more general request, “Describe that for me.”

Early on I took these as rote (机械性流程) pleasantries (客套话). Over time I realized he wanted more than just routine answers. Having shown me how to do an exercise, Rob would encourage me to think about the muscle or chain of muscles as they moved. The questions were a test of that connection. Gradually, I started thinking my way back into my body. Not my body as a whole but as individual, connections to newly identified places. Intentionally. Specifically. Magically. It’s surprisingly difficult.

I am five months into a new way of living with this 56-year-old body. It talks to me in a tally different way now. It reminds me of my capabilities, my muscles calling me to move, demanding to be challenged. And I long to continue this dialogue so that I’m ready the next time Rob says: “Describe that to me.”
