Preparation :
1. I feared losing a finger to the cold on this last climb.
2. And as long as it wasnt my trigger finger, I continued weighing the risk/benefit up until my departure
3. But then I feared never, ever playing my guitar again, if I did lose a digit.
4. So I played and played and played my every waking moment remembering songs I hadnt played in ages.
5. But bruised the tips of my left hand fingers so badly in the process of playing that they were sore for the duration of my climb.
bonus
6. The bruises, a constant reminder to keep my hands covered, it wasnt ok to sacrifice a finger for a climb... a toe perhaps, but not a finger...
