I love climbing! Just last night, I was buildering on my school's campus.
I was reading through the "Les quits in Kalahari" thread and this question came to my mind. Surviving a situation is all about making decisions. When is it better to stay put and when is it better...

Sarge, I know that he died in the end....

I'm only 18 years old, but I LOVE the outdoors. My parents introduced me to the wilderness at a young age. They started by taking me...
