F is for Failure

The brunt reality of life in the mountains is we often learn more from our experiences with disappointment than with the elation of victory.  But those few beautiful moments of standing on top of a precipice with the sun shining on your face are worth every failed attempt.  Failure makes us wiser and gives us necessary epiphanies that can transform our mind and body into a synergy of beautiful motion for the chance of standing on top again.
