I read "No Shortcuts to the Top" by...Yes! I read "No Shortcuts to the Top" by Ed Viesturs - https://www.amazon.com/No-Shortcuts-Top-Climbing-Highest-ebook/dp/B000MAH5OM/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1533143551&sr=1-1&keywords=ed+viesturs+no+shortcuts+to+the+top I thought it an amazing book! I spent a summer (a very hot one) reading all the 8,000 meter climbing books I could find like "Into Thin Air". No Shortcuts, which is about Ed's adventures is interesting because he's very cautious and will only lead groups in high altitude climbing with oxygen. He was supposed to climb Mt. Everest on the "Into Thin Air" climb, but he was asked to do the Everest movie. His friends led the failed climb and he was below them in camp watching and flipping out when he saw everyone keep on going past the turn around time. Very good writer and climber. His book is primarily about his climbs.Elise Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657785234869089663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169278596535638200.post-59543047585732241062018-07-29T21:47:59.867-04:002018-07-29T21:47:59.867-04:00If you love dogs the iditarod books are really goo...If you love dogs the iditarod books are really good.

I feel like I've stared at it's cover so long, planning to read it that I must own it. Or maybe it's a sample on my tablet. Anyway my son and girlfriend want to hike the entire AT. He has taken 3 Wilderness First aid courses and led a trip for his college up the 100 Wilderness Miles, at the top in Maine. Knowing what he faced alone with no adults (he was 21 but with another student they led the trip for new Freshmen) was a bit hard for me. I have confidence in him, but the silence is tough and that was a week. The whole AT takes 5 - 6 months.Elise Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657785234869089663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169278596535638200.post-70046436083518629042018-07-25T22:04:25.802-04:002018-07-25T22:04:25.802-04:00Oooh, I love the shawl!Oooh, I love the shawl!Kwizgiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030855903021576354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169278596535638200.post-72792811004061938432018-07-25T21:55:38.573-04:002018-07-25T21:55:38.573-04:00Alaska is on my someday list.
