Mike Harris DFW > Climbing Day with Tom…
The hike in was about an hour, lungs were splitting at 8,000 feet above my acclimation level. We talked about family and friends, climbing destinations and future trips. Kids, both being one and having them. The women in our lives and the fathers who knew what was important in life... time with their children

Climbing with Tommy Caldwell. It was everything I could imagine and more than one could hope.
What a great day with a great guy and a true ambassador of our sport. Humble and real.

It may not have been the top of the world but, for me it was as good as it gets.

The route was a Kor classic... Pear Buttress on The Book. Lumpy Ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park
A pitch of supurb crack, I am told. I hate crack! It was everything I could do to stay on it. Pain! <br> SPECIAL THANKS TO BISCUITS FOR THE USE OF HIS PHOTO!
Tommy had contributed a day of his time to climb with a contributor. Guess whose name came up in the drawing?
But, the choice was there, a drawing to win gear or a climbing day with a world class professional climber. It was easy, no gear needed. Without hesitating, Tommy Caldwell.
A few months earlier I had contributed to the Layton Kor fundraiser. My motivation was not personal reward, it just seemed the right thing to do.
A beautiful line with a little of everything
It was a beautiful September day and the aspen trees were beginning to change in the mountains around Estes Park Colorado.
