Summit Journal Chat

Ken, I was lucky enough to catch DR. Houston in person at the Banff Festival this year when in introduced the film that tells of the K2 trip. I have rarely seen that auditorium filled with the climbing world's elite as rapt as they were that evening - - absolutely incredible personality. He caries the same aura of strength as do so many of the fellas from that era and I wonder if there will ever be any more like them. Maybe they were forged by the strife that surrounded their youth..or the lack of "brave corporate logos" behind their attempts, but they sure seem to have an intriguing perspective.

PBob - what can I say...as always a pleasure to be along for the ride with you.
