How fun to have this vicarious journey from the birth of the idea through the whole process. I have to say that no matter how many books I have conceived and carried to publication, each journey is a little different. And it's always interesting to see how the process works for others.

I admire your work David.
Thanks for your support Mr. Madden!
David, let us know when the marketing starts. Just finished 'Too High and Too Steep'.
A rollout at The Mountaineering Club atop the Graduate Hotel?
That could be fun!
Davie: Did you attend Colorado College—one class at a time?
Darrel,
Yes, that's where I went. Geology major.
