dear chris,

thank you for sharing this story. your sacrifice is appreciated by many.

i love this poetic line maybe the most: "But when I stepped off the trail to take a pee, I discovered that some of my muscles were still experiencing altitude related symptoms. Specifically the muscles that held in any/all of my poop."

much love!
