WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Max Power]

Last update for a while. We're in italy now but have to leave early as I broke my elbow and destroyed my tendons on one foot after which I fainted for a few seconds. This happened on a sidewalk near the hotel btw. We're leaving now to find out wether I need surgery. Ways to end a beautful hike. Much love to my girlfriend who did a great job. See you in a few days.

So you go climb a shit ton of mountains, and follow pathways fit for a mountain goat, and you break your elbow on a sidewalk near your hotel?.. That's not the Max Power way man… 

Anyway: hope you had a blast (before the SideWalk Incident)...

Yesterday 16 miles on the AT one of the most difficult hikes I have done. 10 miles up to ridge. Then 4 miles on a sunny ridge, ran into a bear, then 2 miles down.

I hope your recovery is easy, and doesn't take too long, Max. What a bummer.

Sorry to hear about the accident, and get well soon @Max Power.

@derivative666 did you or the bear come off worst out of that encounter?

(Why do I have visions of a fresh bearskin rug in your house?)

[derivative666]

Bear situation was uneventful. Looked at us took a step forward. Banged my trekking poles together a few times and he fled down the backside of the mountain.

Uneventful is probably a good thing when bears are involved.

[Max Power]

Thanks for the good wishes! Hugs have been given and I'll be on my way home today. See you soon.

@seul Yeah I know, it's not the kind of story you're proud of 

[Finkster]

Thanks, for all the fantastic pics and get well soon!  @Max Power

That's like skiing Le Tunnel in L’Alpe d’Huez and then falling over in the ski lift queue and breaking your ankle…

Especially  since there has been at least one recent bear-human encounter with deadly result (for the person) in NJ .
