I summited Half Dome for the first time when I was 24; I thought I was going to die on the cables. I summited Half Dome again when I was 27; it almost felt like a home game. I summited Half Dome for a third time when I am 29 – this time I brought new friends to conquer a formidable mountain.
24歲初登半穹頂,以為我的小命要交代在山上;27歲再登半穹頂,似乎成了我的主場;29歲三登半穹頂,這次是帶著新人,攻克了他們心中不可攀越的高山。
