Seems I talked about the ROCKS, not about me. What part of aiming for the space between the rocks do you find difficult? What part do you find to be of such extrordinary nature that only the elite can field such high accomplishment?
If you find aiming for the space between the rocks to be so difficult, then it's your competence that's in question...a judgement you make upon yourself, and no one else.
When one treads water in the ocean, the depth of the water is irrelevant. When one flies into a mountain airport, the size of the "rocks" isn't relevant, unless you plan on hitting them.
There are few here on this board, or elsewhere, that could hold a candle to Don Sheldon. I'm not one of them, and never claimed to be. His own accomplishments went far beyond mere flying.
Very simple concepts, these. Water flows downhill. Keep that in mind around mountains. Water flows downhill, so do you. Keep spaces between rocks in your path instead of the rocks, don't try to outclimb them, be able to turn, and keep your eyes open. Fly published proceedures where they're available, and you can't hit anything, rocks or not. Not rocket science, children. How did you ever get certification, not understanding these things?
It's not about me, it's about the rocks. They've been there a very long time, and are not difficult. You may find them difficult, but then what has changed? The rocks? No, the only variable is you...if you find them difficult, it's not the rocks, it's you. Think about it.
