World renowned biologist Nalini Nadkarni pioneered the use of mountain climbing equipment to assist her climb of Costa Rican rain forest canopies in the early 1980’s. Years of research, countless ascends (on four different continents) came to an abrupt halt during a normal afternoon 50 feet above ground in the Olympic National Park. Nalini eloquently describes her near death fall and offers some insight into a life altering, meaningful disturbance.
