I am in the final edit phase of Climb Glacier National Park.
It has been a long drawn out yet extremely rewarding project.
It began about 2 years ago with an idea and began in earnest winter 2010 when I began to formulate the concept and layout of the book. Through many many revisions and changes the book evolved into its current form.
the most enjoyable aspect of writing this book was doing the research.
Kathleen was wonderfully supportive and hardly complained about me spending 33 days in the park climbing. Unfortunately she was not able to hike with me in the park due to lousy weather each Monday she had off. I ended up climbing 103,000 vertical feet and walking nearly 300 miles in the months of July to September. Most of the distance and elevation gain was off trail. I took hundreds of photos and lots of notes while I climbed with some awesome friends.
I drove to Logan Pass over 20 times while dealing with the road construction and touristas and still have my salvation. No speeding tickets and no warnings from the park rangers this year!
The book will be out in Spring 2011.
