JayB Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Bellingham Herald Article on MrE & Layton's Ascent... Just wanted to add my congratulations to you guys as well. Incredible. I'm glad you're both alive and well after this outing. I loved this bit at the end of the article: "Michael Layton's report of his and Erik Wolfe's ascent of the big wall on Southeast Mox Peak is online at www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Number/496593. Some language in the report is not suitable for children." I hope that one or both of you will write down a longer version of this adventure for posterity, while the memories are still fresh in your minds.

ivan Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 nice article - it seems like journalistic license to refer to the mutant layton w/ words like "bellingham" or "man" though congrats on making the news, mike - and no one even thought you were dead this time!

EWolfe Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Yes. Kudos to Fiona Cohen for an excellent article. She was very good about asking me for analogies, and even let me proof the copy on Friday. Plus she's cute. So much better than Gannett would have done.

layton Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 dang she's cute? shoulda gone in to do an interview. Beckey actually pointed the article out to me in fred meyer. "hey, isn't that you?" Then we tried to get laid walking up and down the aisles with the article to no avail. we're drinking at the Ranch Room right now if anyone wants to come buy.

Blake Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Did you guys bring the article down to the Ranch Room too? I can picture Layton with a page of newspaper, and beckey with his half a dozen books, both trying to score on the b-ham girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Heard about it on the radio this morning too, on KPLU. Actually, my wife heard it, as I was getting the coffee, but it's sort of remarkable to have a local mountaineering story that isn't about a rescue.

AllYouCanEat Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 That's a great balanced article, probably the best that I've read in a newspaper about climbing. Thanks for the link... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
