My mom is a hiker and she always says that one of the most important things is that you need to listen to your own instinct/body and know your limits, no matter how prepared you are or how strong you are, the moment you start having this feeling that maybe you should stop is when you really should stop.

I tumbled and smashed on cliff, trees, cliff, trees, until I departed my body and experienced death. No human came to save me but God had mercy on me. I was sent back to my body. I somehow found a way to crawl and climb out of the steep cliffside with a torn shoulder, unresponsive arm, broken ribs, shattered shins, herniated spinal cord. God helped me get to safety.

@@biketothetop Hey! Shit happens and humans make mistakes! And sometimes those mistakes are impossible to financially recover from. Especially if you’re spending time in the hospital to recover instead of out earning money. In 2017 my Mom made the “mistake” of falling down a flight of stairs and hit her head so hard on the concrete basement floor that she gave herself a very severe “sub-dermal hematoma”. She needed to be airlifted to emergency brain surgery to save her life, which put her in a hardly responsive coma for 4months. After she got out of the coma she couldn’t keep a job due memory loss issues and now our entire family has to support her. My family set up a GoFundMe to raise funds to go and see my Mom at the hospital which was 180 miles away! I was 17 at the time and had just gotten my 1st full time apprenticeship but couldn’t make any money because I had to visit my Mom in the hospital one town away. I was told multiple times it might be the last time I would see her alive, she was hanging on by a thread and I sacrificed all of my money to be there for those potentially last moments of her life. Friends & family raised enough money to pay for multiple tanks of gas to get there, it $300 each time!! And we raised enough money to even pay for the helicopter that airlifted her. We didn’t have $5000 on hand to dole out to an air ambulance and fire service. SOOOO MANY people helped us out on GoFundMe that I sincerely feel like I need to help in the same way. Maybe if you or your family members make enough “mistakes” you’ll come to the same perspective 🤫

I stopped after I got to the top of the first peak and decided it was too dangerous. On my way down, I nearly tilted sideways as I was climbing down the rocks, and I almost fell down a cliff. Who knows how long the fall would have been, and I'm glad I'm alive. I'm so grateful for the miracle and that I made it out alive. I also slammed by bottom to the rocks as I'm climbing down the mountain and injured it badly. I couldn't walk for a couple of days.

This does not change the fact its an unfortunate situation but regardless in anything the more you focus on how things can go wrong and scared you are the more likely its going to go wrong. Being calm and focused is key to climbing especially

[@dianar9556]

☠️Why doesn’t anyone post a big sign stating the great danger & no trespassing??

[@tybarker5038]

This has happened to two of my friends, both of whom moved from Texas to Colorado. Fortunately, both survived but were really beat up and bedridden for a few weeks. I’m lucky to have never fallen, I used to hike a lot. Glad she is ok

[@stephenware6216]

I don't go in ocean anymore either.

[@TheCapixClan]

Rest up May! I’m glad you’re okay miss. People ask me why I ride dirt bikes / race motocross & am so heavy on board sports. We’re thrill seekers but it takes a split second to have everything go wrong. Do it for the love, don’t be upset knowing the outcome however know when & if risk overrides reward. Sending prayers May I’m glad you’re a tough cookie!

[@yoloswag4204lyfe]

For those of you who are worried about this hike: Most of the danger is the third peak. The first two peaks are relatively low risk, but still be careful. The third peak requires a lot of risky rock climbing and using ropes to descend down two large faces of rock. The hike is absolutely worth it, just be careful and know your own limits. I would say if you have a lot of experience and are mindful about risk then definitely go for the third peak! Otherwise, spend some time elsewhere and perhaps get some bouldering/rappelling experience under your belt as well as make sure you are fit, prepared, and have good balance.

[@yoloswag4204lyfe]

@Limeade i'm not

[@haveawonderfulday279]

How is rappelling going to help you for a hike?

[@johnnyvivic8730]

​@@haveawonderfulday279 "The third peak requires a lot of risky rock climbing and using ropes to descend down two large faces of rock." Reading comprehension. Some people lack it.

[@AMoose454]

Climbing isn’t for anyone. A lot of people don’t know the difference between hiking and actual climbing (bouldering, etc.)

"In the morning, my car won't start" That was her first sign. 18 years ago, my 3 siblings wanted to go to this community swimming pool. I LOVE swimming pool and I always say yes when they invite me.... But somehow, that day, my GUT feeling was telling me not to go. I tried to tell my siblings it was not a good idea and I feel like something is off, but they kept ignoring me and we went anyways. That day, my brother had an argument with a drunk person at the pool over a floatie. He pulled a gun on my brother and shot at my brother. My brother is fine. He wasn't hit. We all survived. But I remember that day vividly because I had this very very strong feeling that we should not go. Always trust your gut, specially if it's a very strong "gut feeling" Life is mysterious and there are things we just can't explain

It's crazy to me, how the American government pays more per-capita on healthcare then Canada, yet citizens are still left with a bill for treatment.

[@よろしく-u5l]

Yea our healthcare is fucked.

[@Ricky16317]

You have to know your limits, this isn't a hike at the top it's bouldering. And NEVER trust a rope that you just find already there, who know's how long it's been there and how much life it has left.

[@richardyounkin1557]

I agree, the long rope in this video looks sketchy

Me and my family hike this every year. People like her make this seem unsafe, this is a very beautiful mountain top I highly suggest anyone that is physically FIT to try it!!!!

what are the dangers?

[@DanniJade]

She seems pretty fit? She’s an avid hiker. She missed a foot hole. Unpredictable. Everyone makes mistakes. Seems like she just wants people to be aware.

[@sean1232]

@@DanniJade what ? Dont u have eyes? Shes overweight and 4ft.high 🤣😅

[@Tribuneoftheplebs]

@@DanniJade she absolutely does not seem fit. Look at her shoulders. Zero muscle development and you expect her to be able to rock climb? She probably can't even do a single pull-up. She may be a fine hiker but climbing is not hiking and you can tell she doesn't do anything for her upper body. Recipe for disaster.

So genuine question, wouldn’t god have also caused her to fall and experience such a horrendous few months?

[@countryslicers]

@@JazzFlop212💜 No, I believe it was pride that drove her to continue climbing. I believe it was God who caused her car not to start that morning and who gave her that feeling that she should turn back. It was God that spared her life! There are times in life when the Lord will allow us to do what we want to do even though He warned us not to and we suffer the consequences.

My mother, her boyfriend, & I used to hike years ago during the late Spring and Summer months early in the morning to stay physically healthy before it gotten really hot as we would hike up at Squaw Peak here in Phoenix if I recall that was only 1,200ft. up in elevation. We didn't hike up all the way of course as we only carried bottles of water with us as we had a backpack with some supplies just in case we get injured and the scenery was gorgeous! Just because it wasn't at the top doesn't mean it's rewarding of your life for your body to be majorly injured just to see the beauty of a scenery on top of the mountain. The woman made a big mistake not following how her body felt inside her gut after reading what the top comment said as your instincts are your body's way of protecting you from the adrenaline rush as the woman pushed herself too far without knowing what the consequences may be. I've also checked the mountain height as it's 1,643ft. high and can see why she went way too far as that's quite high of a climb without the special equipment you need without getting hurt along the air thinner and temp lowering down to 5°F which may affect the mood of her body feeling cooler. What's most important is that she's still alive and okay which is a relief to see as being a hiker comes with lots of responsibility and physical strength in your legs that you have to train many months and possibly years for.

I hike for the love of hiking not the bragging. I don't even post my hikes and at times no selfies. It's good enough for me knowning that I hiked it.

[@Kira1Lawliet]

People rarely listen to their gut when it tells them something's wrong, but it's incredibly important to heed that feeling. Our brain collects an insane amount of information through our sensory organs and other inputs on a continuous basis. The brain can only consciously process so much of this information, but occasionally, your subconscious can detect abnormalities or strange inconsistencies in all that data being fed to your brain, stuff so small your conscious brain would never notice it. Your brain then subconsciously recognizes that combination of strange information as a potential threat, and activates what we call our "gut feeling" as a defense mechanism telling us to avoid the impending danger. To put it simply, your gut feeling is a very legitimate thing, and it only happens when the brain picks up on stuff that isn't right that you can't even notice. Listen to your gut feeling! It may save your life.
