Did you die?

Congratulations OP. Funny personal anecdote on Rainier... On my second day on the mountain, a few hours before heading off for the summit, we were eating in the mess tent of the guide group and they were encouraging us to eat as many of the huge burritos they were serving up as we could, because we would need the calories. Well one of us asked what is the record for number of burritos eaten, and they told us the tale of Florida Pete! Florida Pete was a bodybuilder, trying to check the bucket list box of climbing a glaciated mountain, and he ate no fewer than seven burritos. I estimate these burritos were approximately a pound and a half to 2 lb each. I'm a big eater and I only put down one and a half of them. Anyway, Pete holds the record. Pete also did not summit. Lol

A long time ago, I read a couple of hundred letter written by confederates during the war*. Ever since then. when I see someone writing, the format in my brain is like: Dear wife, I take this time it inform you that me general health is tolerable. I have trepidation for the adverse decent before me. Please give my respect to our children Beauregard, Frederick, and the girl.

Good Bye. J.D. Mountain Hooffer, III
