Description

Excerpt from "Off the Sofa, A Memoir of Climbing Life" - "I sat up in my portaledge on El Capitan and glanced over the valley floor to see yellow clouds of pine pollen drifting across the recesses of the trees. It was my 20th birthday and I had no idea what was going to transpire in my life yet alone that day. I had no idea that I’d marry the most beautiful woman I’d ever met, become step-dad to her eight year old son, Justin, become a father to an amazing boy, Jonnie, and eventually become a grandfather to five beautiful grandchildren. I had no idea how much joy and pain would come into our lives. I had no idea that I would surrender my life once again to Jesus and find a peace that surpasses all understanding. I had no idea that I would be asked, in years to come, to coordinate a memorial and give a eulogy for my life-long friend and climbing partner, Jim Bridwell."
