Walgreen\u2019s Peak<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019re alone.<\/p>\n
Preparation is key.<\/p>\n
Training and mental practice<\/p>\n
are of utmost importance.<\/p>\n
Check equipment.<\/p>\n
Pack gear,<\/p>\n
alcohol pads, wipes, masks.<\/p>\n
Travel light,<\/p>\n
avoid accidental contamination.<\/p>\n
Picture the placement of necessary items.<\/p>\n
Touch only those you\u2019ll take.<\/p>\n
Foot and hand placement are critical,<\/p>\n
to prevent stumbling,<\/p>\n
possible serious injury.<\/p>\n
Know how to move,<\/p>\n
along which aisles.<\/p>\n
Consider every detail.<\/p>\n
Life depends on it.<\/p>\n
Avoid other risk-takers.<\/p>\n
Loud talkers, especially children,<\/p>\n
can bring an avalanche.<\/p>\n
Move rapidly<\/p>\n
during favorable climate conditions.<\/p>\n
Stay calm,<\/p>\n
prevent hyperventilation, dizziness.<\/p>\n
At the summit,<\/p>\n
swipe your card,<\/p>\n
cleanse it thoroughly,<\/p>\n
walk out the door.<\/p>\n
Take a moment.<\/p>\n
The view is amazing.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all downhill from here.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll return home safely,<\/p>\n
memories, tales to tell.<\/p>\n
Accolades from fans of<\/p>\n
ibuprofen, toilet paper,<\/p>\n
salty snacks and ice cream.<\/p>\n
