A long time ago I figured out I was a generalist. That's why I did Climbing Magazine for so long. Part of what appealed to me about that was putting the whole thing together, and understanding how all the aspects of the magazine function, and being able to integrate those and drive the process forward. |
A significant number of priests would disagree, |
Alpinism is the whole ball of wax, not just one aspect of climbing. You have to know how to live in the mountains, travel, and blend in the technical skills with speed and efficiency. In rock climbing you might focus on a pitch for only a few moments, while in alpine climbing your focus can go on for months. |
Also, when I met my wife Julie, who had been skiing since she was three. Skiing has always been something we could share together - I know way more about the mountaineering aspects, but Julie is a better skier than I am. She still kicks my ass on a pair of skis. |
First of all, land managers are bureaucrats. What they do is control things; they like to put things in little boxes and create rules. They want to do that in the easiest and most cost efficient way.

I learn something every time I go into the mountains. |
I was interested in photography when I started college at Antioch. I took a basic photo course there, and other photography classes. I got my first real job through a work-study program at Antioch. It was working as a helper in a mental hospital. Strange, but I'm sure that had something to do with where I am now. |
I'm usually balanced, but I've been out of balance when I've had to focus on a few things to the exclusion of more creative aspects. |
Israel is one of the easiest places to play ball. When I say easy I am referring to the easy lifestyle an athlete has while in Israel. It's very easy to get around the country, because it's so small. |
It is under investigation by our experts, subcontractors and our own personnel. |
It was just a slow death. |
It's a huge undertaking for a community. There is a lot going on besides football. |
It's about the pleasure of being in the mountains, traveling efficiently over the terrain, having that sense of dynamic motion which you don't get when you're on foot. |
