Post-recording notes
When I'm moving through the mountains, shouldering my bike and so on, the thought sometimes crosses my mind that if I just snagged a branch and fell into the valley, I might not make it... Is climbing an 8000m mountain a feeling of being at that brink of death the whole time, I wonder. Even looking up at Ultar and Rakaposhi, I never felt the slightest urge to climb them. by Monja
