Musings on Spiritual Matters

This book was hard to get.  I wanted to own it, but on Amazon it was 99 dollars for a used copy.  This is too much money for a little book.  The sad reality is that the book is out of print, so even the range station at Longs Peak did not have a copy.  They had other books on Longs, but not this title.  I planned on reading this book for months.  When Steve Curo approached me about climbing Longs this summer, I found this book on Amazon and was going to read it, but after some research, the book was about people dying on the mountain and I was not sure if I wanted to hear those stories before climbing it.  So the deal was if I climbed it, and was successful, I would read this book.  This is not a book that you would just read, but since I did, it was an amazing read.  I loved hearing about the history of the mountain, and some of the stories of the hard climbs up the diamond and the east face.  If you saw those rocks, you would be impressed.  This was a satisfying read after hitting the summit.  Well worth my time.
