If there are a bunch of us SP'ers going to the Patagucci event next week, should we think about meeting up ahead of time for some beer and food (and beer)?
I nominate Welle to coordinate...

But "No Shortcuts..." seemed like it was written by an 8th grader and left me very disappointed. I was expecting something much better from such an incredible climber.

Some like it, some say it sucked, some imply that he has no personality and he's a boring speaker. What the readers of these posts can't tell is which author/climber these remarks are aimed at, Steve House or Ed Viesturs?
I've read several climbing/mountain books, many of which were discussed on SP. In my opinion, "No Shortcuts to the Top" by Ed Viesturs was one of the most enjoyable.
I just got the new Lynn Hill book, but after I finish it I'll check out Steve House's book.
