I've had a few... train accident, almost ran over by a too large and too scary truck while sitting in my car, etc. etc. but the one that was the closest call was in Sweden so let's take that one!

I was in the mountains near Kebnekaise, wandering with my friends for some time, actually three weeks. For various reasons we ended up climbing down a cliff wall. Problem was, we had nowhere else to go and thought that this way was the only way down. To make a long story short, i ended up slipping in some mud, loosing what ever grip that i had in the cliff half way down. Some way i managed to push my body inwards, away from my 23 kg. backpack and get my fingers stuck inside a tiny crack in the wall, while my feet searched desperately for a place to stand.

Somehow they (my feet) managed to find a place. It took me about an hour to climb the rest of the way down, but man...... that adrenaline rush never left my body for one second the rest of that long hour.

That day i did some serious thinking about living.
