The Magician’s Glass by Ed Douglas

One of my Christmas presents from Selden was this collection of interesting mountaineering essays. Who could resist after reading this blurb from British climber Andy Kirkpatrick: "A man with a mind like the teeth of a brand new ice-screw. Ed's words are never dull."

On a different note, I have finally put Covid behind me, and the past few days, I have even been able to approach my regular volume. That said, the overall volume for the past week was still low: logging 10 hours, a bit over 3500', 87k (49k bike, 33k ski, 5k run), as well as two strength, and one stretching session.

Hoping for a healthy 2024.
