G-spotter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Self-published, of course. And the Touching the Void ripoff. And "a novel about Africa" including the longest climb - OOOOOOH MAN. I bet John Long, Jon Krakauer and Greg Child are quaking behind their seven-figure contracts, cause THERE'S A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet John Long, Jon Krakauer and Greg Child are quaking behind their seven-figure contracts, cause THERE'S A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK. And he knows how to "estimate weather data". (Like 'It was probably a whiteout up there'). See, college meteorology courses can do more than get you a job with Tamara Taggart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryland_moore Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I wonder if he has even climbed Hood? Or in the Cascades? He is from New Mexico and written other books on climbing but have not ever seen or heard of them. I am curious just to see what his point is and what his "facts" are. But, I am sure, tht is what he is banking on for book sales....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 "On a walk consuming peyote buttons on December 24, 2006 in the foothills of Albuquerque's Sandia Mountains, the author had a vision regarding the true story about what happened to the three climbers on Mt Hood. Arousing his curiosity as a biostatistician and ethnographer, it occurred to him to perform rituals which enabled him to understand details about this tragic event that no one else has been to deduce, even the professional mountaineers involved in the rescue operation. After a year's study, the author has now published his very convincing research on the accident. Using archeology and astronomy, Allen has determined that the exact weather conditions experienced by the fateful party. The author was thus able to match the top of the Bermuda Triangle with Polaris (a.k.a the North Star) while the other points of the triangle align with the sunsets at summer and winter solstice which enabled him to publish this startling new book of facts about the accident, and start a new life as a vampire."
