EWolfe Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I am reading Sherman Exposed: What a wacko. My favorite line is in the "Surefire Excuses" section, and he's talking about tendinitis: "Your only hope with this excuse is to pick a really obscure body part upon which an injury will reflect an unheard of dedication to the sport. Nothing says 'heel-hooking Roof God' like tendinitis in the back of the knees." Know any other funny books on climbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Close Calls by John Long is great. One of the stories even occurred locally on Eldorado Peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
