There Is a God for Lesser Climbers: When Doing Things Differently Works Best

Beschreibung

It is a book about gaining faith in yourself and your abilities and doing what you love for as long as you can. At a difficult time in my life, I found a better way to go climbing and started going out on my own. Over the next six years I discovered local crags, built trails for accessing local crags, created new climbing routes, restored abandoned ones, and found my way in the hills. Along the way were beautiful sunsets, sunrises, endless vistas of San Diego's rugged backcountry, and discovering for myself that age is just a number.

Autor

The author graduated from Cornell University in 1983 with a B.S. in Biochemistry. She started but did not complete a doctoral program in Pharmacology at Cornell, finally leaving upstate New York for the sunny paradise of California in 1989. After several years of a nomadic existence as itinerant bike race and triathlon junkie, she settled into software engineering and earned a respectable living for the next twenty five years. She retired in May 2020 and immediately reverted to being an outdoor junkie, this time as climber and trail builder. [see photo of AboutTheAuthor.jpg photo] The author, then more commonly known as "The Osprey", is riding a Bike Friday around Qualcomm Stadium. It belonged to the person who took this photo. She and eight other volunteers would be loyal and unswerving crew members over the next twelve days in the 2012 edition of the epic endurance event, Race Across America. Yes, this is an older photo of me. I retired from ultra-endurance cycling in 2015. Oh, the reason I was riding around the stadium was for the crew to get used to driving the van, rather different from a sedan, as well as practice direct follow, "leapfrog" follow, and other essentials of a support team. Much easier here than in traffic and busy streets.
