Sequence No.
ENG-159
At my first opportunity I hurried west, went up the Tieton to Conrad Meadows, up the Conrad Creek Trail to Meade Glacier, and camped in the high meadow by the side of Warm Lake. The next morning I stripped,
dived into the lake, and swam across to the other shore and back just as Doug Corpron used to do. I shouted with joy, and Gilbert Peak returned the echo. I had conquered my fear of water.
The experience had a deep meaning for me, as only those who have known stark terror and conquered it can appreciate. In death there is peace. There is terror only in the fear of death,
as Roosevelt knew when he said, �All we have to fear is fear itself.� Because I had experienced both the sensation of dying and the terror that fear of it can produce, the will to live somehow grew in intensity.
