page 4 - January 2010 SpotLight - Forres and District

As it was approaching the 70th anniversary of RAFLossiemouth, the Mountaineering Club looked to find asuitable expedition to both celebrate the event and tochallenge the club in both planning and execution. TheHimalayas has always been the ultimate destination for themajority of aspiring climbers and was a clear choice for themembers. Mera Peak, a 6400m trekking peak in the Makalu

Barun National Park ofNepal, matched all ofthe requirements of re-moteness, altitude,technical difficulty andaffordability and onceselected, the expeditionplanning began inearnest early in 2008.

Out of a group ofaround 30 applicants a

team of 12 was selected as expedition members based ontheir experience, ability, fitness, availability and what skills theycould bring along to increase the chance of success in theendeavour. Not all of those selected had been to altitudebefore and so training was carried out in the Alps in thesummer of 2009 to give those who required it experience inhigh altitude walking, rope work and crevasse rescue.

The expedition set off on Thursday 15th Oct 2009 whichis in the middle of the Nepalese post monsoon period andalthough this was the autumn and getting cold it wouldprovide a few weeks of settled dry weather. The team travelledto Kathmandu where we met Lakpa Tenji Sherpa, ourNepalese Sirdar, who was to be our guide on the expedition.Equipment was checked and repacked for the flight to Luklaand the team’s spirits were high as we left civilisation behindas we finally headed into the mountains.

Nepal is not a large country but getting around can beproblematic, the locals judge distances to the next village notin miles but in days travelled, for once in the mountains thereare no roads only tracks over high level passes and down lowvalleys. We spent 9 days trekking with our porters to get intoBase Camp on the mountain, although this was ideal accli-matisation training for the summit attempt. As we progressedup the mountain the difficulties increased, the falling airpressure and night time temperatures slowing our earlymorning exit from the warmth of our sleeping bags and dailyupward progress to little more than a crawl.

Summit day fell on 2nd Nov. We left our camp at 3 amhaving breakfasted on porridge and noodles and it was verydark, very windy and very cold. Moving as two roped partieswe climbed steadily but slowly up the mountain, the altitudeand incline taking a heavy toll on our progress, till at one pointI had to stop to throw up. Eventually the altitude put paid toany further progress for two of us and at 6300m we turned

back, we were only 140m from thetop. As we descended the sun risecame to warm us and our recoverystarted. We were soon joined by twoothers, one of whom had begun tofeel the first effects of frostbite on histoes and so took the sensibledecision to come down, only 100mfrom the top. As we sat in HighCamp enjoying a brew, we werereunited with the rest of the teamwho were also driven back down bythe cold, as they prepared to fixropes for the final part of the ascent, only 40m from the top.

It would seem that we had failed; we had not achievedour goal. In fact what had been the point, all that effort,months of planning and training, the worry for our familieswhen we lost communications, not to mention the cost?Maybe we should just have stayed at home; we could havejust gone for a walk up Ben Rinnes with the dogs!

But we didn’t, we went to the Himalayas, we took achallenge, we stepped out of the boat, out of the comfort zoneand did something amazing. Life is like that, you have tochallenge yourself or you aren’t moving forward, you aredying; standing still is not an option. You don’t need to go asfar as Nepal, maybe just a 5 minute jog on the beach, younever know where it might take you; the longest journey startswith the first step, but you only get out what you put in.

Although you can get out a whole lot more; filled up tooverflowing, packed down and topped up again. I have foundit is this way with my faith as a Christian, unless I challenge itand work at it, I so easily slip and the ways of the world comeflooding in and life seems to become so difficult. Nobody eversaid it would be easy but everyday I give thanks for a graciousand forgiving Lord who gives me the strength for the realchallenge. The truth is out there, if you are prepared to look.

The next day 3 of the guys felt strong enough for asecond attempt and summited easily on a beautiful, windlessand sunlit morning.

Failed Resolutions

At the beginning of a New Year,a secondary school head teacherdecided to post his teachers' NewYear's resolutions on the notice-board. As the teachers gatheredaround the board, a greatcommotion started. One of theteachers was complaining. "Whyweren't my resolutions posted?" Shewas throwing such a temper tantrumthat the head teacher hurried to hisoffice to see if he had overlooked herresolutions. Sure enough, he hadmislaid them on his desk.

As he read her resolutions hewas astounded. This teacher's firstresolution was not to let little thingsupset her in the New Year.

It has been said that "nothing iscertain but death and taxes." Perhapswe should add one more thing to thatlist of certainties - the breaking ofNew Year's resolutions! Looking backon 2009, you may be one of thefortunate ones who accomplished

exactly what you hoped to accom-plish during the year. But, if you're likemost of us, you didn't read all the waythrough the Bible like you intendedto, you stopped smoking but only fora while then picked up the habitagain, or you lost a few pounds onlyto put them back on again when yourdiet failed. After experiencing thisfailure year after year, a person tendsto say to herself, "What's the use?Why even bother to try to make thesechanges?"

As an old Chinese proverb putsit, though, "Failure is not falling down.Failure is not getting back up." Or asthe Japanese put it, "Fall down seventimes, get up eight." If there are areasof your life that you've tried toimprove and failed, let this be themonth that you try again. And if youfail this month, get up and try againnext month. Learn from yourmistakes and become stronger.

God does not turn his back onthe person who fails (if you questionthat, you need only look at the story

of Peter's denial of Christ). However,He cannot help the person whorefuses to try any longer.

‘Therefore submit to God. Resistthe devil and he will flee from you.Draw near to God and He will drawnear to you. Cleanse yourhearts…humble yourselves in thesight of the Lord, and He will lift youup.’ (James 4:7-8,10)

If you have made a resolution todevelop a habit that will bring youcloser to God or a resolution to getrid of a habit that is pulling you awayfrom God, may God bless you withthe strength to accomplish your goal.And, if you should stumble on yourjourney, may He pick you up anddust you off so that you can continueon the long journey of becoming likeChrist.
