Fear Itself

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR

In case you've ever wanted to see what it looks like for someone to stare fear in the face, treat yourself to the pictures below. 

My wife has a fear of heights, but that didn't stop her from doing a technical climb at over 12,000 feet with me earlier this week. At times we were walking on a ridge less than 1 foot wide, with sheer drop-offs of hundreds of feet on either side.

Oh, what's that? A cliff face, a 3-foot wide trail, and
a 125-foot drop?

Another trail, another cliff face. And I'll be honest, the overwhelming brown tone of the landscape really doesn't do
a justice to just how extreme this climb was. Wisely, Stacy opted not to face out while traversing.

Fear? Please. Stacy came to party.
