    I would loved it if she'd told this with a bit more enthusiasm...she is a great climber and this is an extremely great story. But she was probably very nervous.

    this was very dry and boring but she is one of my most favourite people in the world and she is the most amazing climber that i have ever watched, but public speaking is really not her thing. i think she must have been nervous.

      it must have been at least 3 or 4 years since then, she probably hadn't done that many oral presentations, I believe she now must be more comfortable with public speaking. On another point, DANG! that was a crazy experience, didn't know she had gone through that!

    Interesting to me (as someone with both a psychology B.Sc. and a strong grounding in Buddhist type spirituality) is that when dealing with your extreme predicament the most effective way forward was to be in the here and now and face reality. Climbers as lab rats! I'm not much of a climber but was once involved in a bicycle crash where I was suddenly able to foresee an imminent crash with a turning car and it was as if my brain shifted up to a higher gear: more alert to sensory input, accurate decision making, very coordinated motor output. The effectiveness of this was to reduce the kinetic energy of the impact so only tore muscles and ligaments etc and not broke skull/neck/back. Cheers Drew

    Sasha seems to be getting a lot of criticism about her public speaking. True, she seems uncomfortable and a little robotic with her speaking. But public speaking is hard, props to her for doing it, I'm sure she'll get better.
