Wow, David, what an adventure-filled life you've had! This was a wonderful read and thanks for sharing these glimpses into your life. You will never run out of stories!

I'm sorry about your climbing friend, that must have been very tough. Same thing happened to my dad on a climbing trip and I've also lost a wonderful friend and free climber.

You are strong, resilient and brilliant and I thoroughly enjoy reading your poems. 🙂
