Another one

I highly recommed "No Shortcuts To The Top" by Ed Viesturs. A very good and inspiring read to add to the list.

Another book to the list

Lynn Hill Climbing Free is definitely worth the read. She has always been a bit of a hero of mine and the book only added to my admiration of her. I must admit, one of the biggest thrills of my life was seeing her climb at the Gunks in the Fall of '06 the day after she had given a slide show at Rock and Snow that was too packed to get into.

Ouch...

A few hours at Haycock in the cold and snow and I feel like I got hit by a truck! I can't believe all the snow that fell there but didn't in Lansdale. Anyway, time to get in shape so next time I don't feel as bad the next day...

Addition to top books

I just finished "The White Spider" by Heinrich Harrer and had to add it to my top books of all time. Definitely worth the read.

Brian's Run

Very windy, and very cold. Possibly one of my better times however. I still should train for it one year. Oh well. Chilly Cheeks 7.2 mile trail run on 1/25/09 coming up!
