Alpinist 27

As a collector of mountain fiction - my library has over 55 titles - I
found this cartoon in the current issue hysterical. (Click on the
image to fully enjoy this cartoon flowchart for how to write a
climbing novel.)

Some other things in the issue that caught my Fossil gaze ... How the
Snazz got it's name, Ed Webster's history of Everest climbs, the same
Ed Webster that I helped take on his first ice climb to celebrate his
21st birthday, and the obit for John Bachar.
