2 most dangerous moments

#2-I thought I'd found a short-cut down a mountain by sliding down on the scree. The scree funneled through a couple big rocks and I realized, too late, that my 'short-cut' culminated in a 30 foot drop. I caught myself a few feet shy of the drop and tried pulling myself up but the more I moved the further down I slid. I ended up having to tie off on one of the rocks and lower myself down my rope. Oh, did I mention I'm scared to death of heights?

#1-Going hunting for 6 days and coming home with nothing and trying to convince my wife that I really was hunting
