Wow, you nailed one, street cred improvement for wet-spotter! Nice call Dru.

 

Heres another painful one to avoid: The Todd Skinner corporation improvement book called "Beyond the Summit: Setting and Surpassing Extraordinary Business Goals". Love Todd, but hate the book until the end where he finally puts some focus on the climb of the Tower. Until then, it seemed like a cheap imitation of Jerzy Kosinkis great novel "Being there" with Todd playing Chance the Gardner.
