My son chopping the wood at the campground while I was cooking dinner. We were getting ready for listening stories about Michael Covington's past - his rock climbs, alpine experiences, and guiding. Michael C. is so humble that for 3 months I did not hear anything about his previous fame. He climbed with Dough Scott, and Yvon Chouinard, and Reinhold Messner, and with Royal Robins, and Layton Kor and many other climbers.
