Kind of a random ADAT, but a decade ago today I was typing XoR with frostbite blisters the size of grapes on my fingers. Making an impromptu decision to try to summit a nearby 5100m peak without equipment – including any gloves – proved unwise. Who knew?
But that visit also laid the groundwork for moving the whole family out to Nepal a year and a half later, so no regrets. (And my fingers fully recovered, so no harm no foul.)
