Share with us your most memorable experiences of the last 50 years?

In 2019 I was in Quito , Ecuador, and got the crazy idea that i needed to climb the Volcano Mt. Pinchincha. It stands at 15,696 feet. The first 12,000 feet were covered by the fact that Quito sits at an altitude of 9,350, and then there are sky cups that go up another 3k ft. I had to stop hiking, and turn around at the sky swing at 13,123 feet. And, yes, I did drink the coca tea. But still was sick in bed for the next 2 days. So worth it!
