" At the tourist office of Los Alerces National Park in Patagonia, the forest ranger who received me noticed that I had chosen the most difficult route. Suspiciously, he asked me if I was in good shape to undertake such an adventure. I can't deny that I felt a little insulted. "Of course," I lied confidently.
I walked briskly down the path, whistling The Bridge of the River Kwai. The first hour would have been easier without the stinging nettles, mosquitoes, leeches and the loosening of my right shoe sole.
Then things got a little more complicated because I was having problems with dizziness and heart rhythm disturbances, and the path led over a 250 meter high cliff between huge, slippery rocks. I felt a slight pain in my chest, my heart beat a little faster. I checked my pulse and counted 140 beats per minute... and my vision started to blur.
When I opened my eyes six hours later in the rescue helicopter that was taking me to the hospital, I asked the paramedic if I could continue my ascent. "In your state of health," he replied harshly, "you can't even get up on a chair."
