Tom Goldstein, the mostly non-climbing brother of my regular partner Dave, has hung around enough crags to learn all he needs to know about climbing. One day, observing a particularly arduous and vocal ascent, he told Dave: "If the word 'fuck' didn't exist, climbers would have had to invent it." Amen, brother.

Book Sale
Sadly, my book is now out of print. I have a few brand-new copies that I will sign and send for $50, including postage. (They're currently over $100 on Amazon.) Click on "my complete profile" above for contact info. I hope to find a new publisher to bring out a second edition, but this could be it.
