In May 1998 I made my second unsuccessful attempt to visit Shasta's summit, this time with Brian Moore ... |
on the Casaval Ridge route. |
Camping at Thousand Island Lake in August, I climbed the north ridge of Banner Peak on a trip with |
Bryan, Hazen, and Esther. |
In September, Esther and I climbed her first sport lead, |
and her second and third third-class peaks. |
In October I headed to the Valley with Bryan |
and Dennis. We enjoyed some intimacy |
with the South Face of Washington Column ... |
over two wonderful days. |
In November I travelled to Humboldt County in the far north of California to visit the ancient Redwoods |
and fight for their protection from corporate corruption. Jail Hurwitz! |
