Excerpt:
“There are moments, sometimes seconds or minutes in duration, when the risk of being outdoors in the cold or the water or on the ice is no longer diminished by gear, clothing, the learned rules of safety, or even the proximity of colleagues. It is when the white clarity of preparation confronts the black reality of nature’s deadly unpredictability, where judgment, physicality, and luck meld together to form the intuitive response to save your limb or life or your journey’s purpose. You’re in the gray.”
