Quote of the Week


"LAST TIME I WENT BOULDERING IN MY HOBNAILS, I FELL OFF." This is the first line of the novel "paths of Glory," and it was really spoken by Conrad Anker, it was the code expression when he found George Mallory's body on Everest in 1999. This is an excellent piece of historical fiction about Mallory and his two great loves- Everest and his wife Ruth.
