Kinabalu! ⛰️ 'Warm-Up' Act for Nepal 🧗‍♀️ (and a marriage test)

Forget romantic getaways; our idea of couple's therapy involves gasping for air above 4,000 meters on the summit of Mount Kinabalu, all to see if our marriage can survive a few days of shared suffering.

We have a mountain range about ten minutes from our house. A young man from Minnesota successfully summited the 13,000 ft. (3962 meter) Cloud Peak Sunday, July 29th and hasn't been heard from or seen since. 🙁

They've got all kinds of resources out looking for him but it's not looking too optimistic at this point.

Still happens I guess. I wish it didn't though.
