You learn a lot about your family when you are hooked to the side of a mountain, 2,300 feet above sea level. One of my favorite days included a Via Ferrata tour around Mount Norquay. Via Ferrata is Italian for "iron path" and is thought to have originated in Austria in 1843. Through this experience I found out that my aunt, Tara, is afraid of heights (she ended up not going at all), I solidified my belief that Owen is fearless, I found out that my uncle, Sean, is an amazing photographer, even when he is balancing precariously on a narrow ledge, and I am now forever grateful for the stamina and endurance that ballet training provides.
