I began reading your dispatches in 1999 when George Malloy’s body was found. Your writing eventually compelled this hiker to take up mountain climbing. I love it; climbing has changed my life. Reentry into day to day life after a climb is an interesting sensation. Everything seems so alive, music sounds clearer, and for a short while life unfolds like a great piece of literature. And of course, a lot of sleep is involved, along with the penchant to be outdoors, walking. Your written words are powerful Dave. With deep respect, Namaste Oh boy, a cat – nice composition.

Really cool that you shared some personal info. about your experience and about the "after climb" cool down. Offer still stands if you ever swing by SD, swing into R-400 and will do a team hike up Harney Peak, (highest peak east of the Rockies). It would be just a stroll for you, but it is fun. Be careful going up McKinley. Not a good year for climbers. Welcome back Dave!
