1. 1995, going camping my jr year, driving to Jalama to surf, crossed a bridge on the windy road, old truck, lost control, hanging off a cliff with the rear end and back tires on the dirt berm. Got out of the truck, and it rolled down 150' cliff.
1 min of total fear.

2. 2013 mountaineering a 14k+ peak in the Easter Serria called Middle Palisade and my partner dislodged a 2'x2'x2' rock down the couloir where I was 75 yards below. I traversed the class 4 ledge and dodged the pieces that were traveling about 100mph+, missed me by 5'.
3 seconds of total fear.

3. 2015 almost went down at the Anacapa Arch in the Channel Islands on a 35' boat. Bad weather, report was wrong, rolled to 40 degrees and lost a motor and could not steer. Go bag, wetsuits and kayaks were out and ready to bail. It was just as bad that night, anchor pulled on the night shift. It was terrible.
1.5 days of chaos.
