I returned the bike and thanked the team at Motoquest for another great trip. I had a few hours to killl so I made my way to Alaska Mountaineering and Hiking Store to look around. I had been in the market for technical mountaineering boots for a couple years now but due to my size submarine feet, have never had any luck. I described my problem to one of the employees and he recommended I try the Scarpa Phantom Guides. He loves them and said they run large. I was skeptical, but gave it a shot. I tried them on and to my surprise they fit like a glove, so I made one last purchase before plane ride home.
My host dropped me off at the airport and I dragged my duffel bags to the ticketing counter. I waited to board the plane and in my head I truly was at peace. I was anxious to see my parents and be in the comfort of my Conshy base camp. I was once again humbled by everything these large mountains can teach you and lucky to have the memories and experience to cherish for the rest of my life.
