Mountains are the stony crystalization of passion. This page is dedicated to my friends who led me to the heights of the Rockies, and shared with me all this beauty and grandeur. Take a few moments here, and take a virtual trip to the tops of these beautiful mountains, and if fortune and health should favor you, and if you are of daring and good humor, and can take the harshness of the storms and enjoy the depth of a good roar of laughter...then go...and climb them in reality. Be reverant there. And if your climbing days are past, just remember, and dream warmly...of the great days where we came alive once and forever.
