The wind was strong enough to push you off balance, especially with icy ground beneath your feet.<br /> “The combination of ice particles and strong wind hitting your face feels like sharp needles against your skin.<br /> “I could actually taste blood in my mouth, most likely because the wind and ice had irritated and slightly damaged my lips.<br />“The wind chill made it feel closer to minus twelve to minus fifteen degrees.<br /> “There are certain risks you simply do not take, no matter how experienced you are.<br /> “While these moments can look dramatic and even exciting, they also demand a high level of respect.”<br />END
