Meteorite

From Meteorite, Andy Hetzel's story of conquering a long-desired Alaskan run

"I started to get pretty frickin' excited and more nervous once we were cruising over the snowy peaks. We approached the run and told the pilot to circle it a couple times so we could get a good look. You're staring out a small foggy window while the helicopter circles to drop you off on a peak you've never seen. It's a total panic sometimes: You see a line for a second, the heli turns, and hopefully you get another peek at it before you're sitting up on top going, "Is that it? That's all I have to go on?""
