Thank you Adam and glad you gave up the crud for a healthier lifestyle. As far as hooking on Mountains... inst that illegal in most states with the exception of Nevada? LOL
At 45 a friend took me to Yosemite in '93 and I fell in love with Sierra peak bagging. Never had a desire for tech climbing and never done any winter mountaineering or skiing, having grown up in Florida. I'm sure if I had grown up, say. in the Eastern Sierra I would have been a hiking fantanic! It's great to have that child like enthusiasm at any age! I've never been up north of the Shasta area in Cal. There are lots of people on SP I would love to meet and hike with. Great to know you're there! Thanks for the link!
I have been addicted to mountains most of my life, but didn't really realize it till last year when I was standing at the foot of the Eiger. I am glad there are other folks out there that understand that feeling.
Enjoyed your article, Steve.
I think I have similar feelings, I have always loved the mountains(especially living in Idaho) but I am getting the mountaineering 'bug' more and more.
Being on SP so much probably feeds my addiction, also.
