“Climbing is as close as we can come to flying.” ~Margaret Young

“I walked slowly to enjoy 

this freedom, 

and when I came out of the 

mountains, 

I saw the sky over the prairie, 

and I thought that if 

heaven was real, 

I hoped it was a place I never 

had to go, 

for this 

earth 

was greater 

than any paradise.”

 ~Daniel J. Rice
