Nah, just the typical barrage of man advice from various people telling me to "breathe". As if I'd forget. My sensei then dragged me to my feet and told me to try again but this time don't get hit. Sound advice...

Okay, skiing Denali has been added to my list. I'm looking for things that would be perceived as being the burliest to your average crowd.
