One for Ten: Cabin Fever in Haines Alaska by Adam Longnecker

Mountains, massive piles of rock and earth shaped by glaciers,
erosion, and weather; can conjure feelings of awe, enlightenment
and fear in people. For millions of years weather systems have
shed soft crystals of snow on these massive peaks, and now we
stand as mere specs in the history of these giants, aloft on
their high ridgelines. As we descend a sensation secretes from
our brains pulsing throughout our bodies as adrenaline,
sculpting our passion to return to the top of these towering
peaks over and over again.
