Long chalky fingers hold me fastSweat drips with the rising sunLegs flex and stretch out and upI swing, the foothold foundas with my last graspI make the top.High perched like an eagleI scan the horizonof the caldera stretching southas peaceful breathing returns.The pinnacle conquered,climbed free, thirst quenched,I stand, survey my worldthen jump upon the thermals.© Sheila Ash 20thMarch 2017Seehttps://www.thoughtco.com/dangerous-allure-of-free-solo-climbing-755444ashramblings
