Bug Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 "I still felt immaculately void, a plain vessel washed by a force, huge and beyond me, and my heart lay open but strong. The world seemed a miraculous and mysterious place and I found myself now peaceful, a deep and small part of it." Coming of age through climbing. Most guys just seek their father's approval.

jmace Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The very first sentence in that story: It was the summer of 1971 a year after the National Guard had seized Yosemite Valley briefly during the Stoneman Meadow Fourth of July riots. Im no english major but is that even a correct sentence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobinc Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It needs a comma after 1971. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It needs a comma after 1971. It needs a lot more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtveld Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It needs a lot more than that. ...or maybe a lot less? Heavy on the analysis for my taste, but definitely worth reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_stolz Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Superb. I havn't yet met a devoted climber who didn't have one crucial moment burned into their mind, a climbing instant or route that changed they way they see themselves, their past or the world.
