| It rained off and on yesterday and when I got up this morning it was foggy and drizzling. Looks like it will clear off later today and that will likely hold through the weekend. [YES!] At least we had some nice weather from the end of last week through the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday were nice, and even Monday was fine - tho hot!

HIGH RISK, CLIMBING TO EXTINCTION
Brian Hall |
 |
| Brian Hall was an alpinist extraordinaire who cut loose from the massive and heavyweight Bonnington expeditions to pioneer "light and fast” ascents of the world's great peaks. His earlier success as an author was as the co-writer of the award-winning film, Touching the Void. |
| Here I was working away and always this mumbling and bitching from below, and finally the shocking ejaculation "This is a lot of shit." From then on I felt I was battling two opponents, the wall and Peterson. |
