Description
"The Climber" by Karyn Robinson
A mountaineer about to set off on an attempt to climb California's, Mount Shasta. The young man is part of a group that will make the ascent. It will take them hours of hard work to gain little elevation. Each foot gained is a struggle, but it's a struggle he loves.
This is a passion I don't share or understand. I like to exercise, but I expect to arrive home safe and sound after my aerobics class.
Still, I envy the passion and the energy. The ability to face up to the challenge. For the record, he didn't make it to the top. The weather turned bad and he rightfully made the decision to descend. Still the view from near the top was amazing, and he lived to climb another day. And as his mother, I applaud that decision.

And you brought tears to my eyes with this one! WOW! You have a very handsome son and I'm so happy that he is safe!

Thank you, Catherine. I really wish he'd take up stamp collecting but that's just who he is and I love him a lot!
