“Adam, in normal life, felt like he couldn’t feel … He’d see two people walking down the street holding hands and kissing, and be like, ‘God, I wonder what that feels like, to actually be in love?’ But for him … when he got into some really serious shit that he knows is dangerous, that he damn well knows could kill him, and eventually will kill him, he’s—for the first time in hours, days, weeks, months—feeling alive again.” Christopher Solomon on extreme skier Adam Roberts who was killed by an avalanche in the mountains of Washington State: The Boy Who Lived on Edges. “It would be inaccurate to say that Adam took his own life. It would also be inaccurate to say that he didn’t.”
