mountain dreams

Since retiring from working at the newspaper, I have been writing a book about the first decade of my climbing experiences -- about the people I met and learned from, and the places we went for climbing. It has been fun to reconnect with those people, remember the exciting climbs we made, and try to assemble them in a book. The book includes 30 photos of these early experiences as well as accounts of the process of learning all the many important aspects of climbing on rock, ice, and mountains.
