Review
Like a night out with the guys, except it involves climbing 14,000 foot mountains instead of poker and beer. An often humorous midlife crisis document of an overweight, stay-at-home dad who's goal was to summit all of Colorado's 14ers in one year. Some climbs involved man-dates with complete strangers to abide by his wife's edict to never climb alone -- often with hilarious, or sobering, results. Entertaining, light read for the summer, and for those approaching the great dark maw who may have one big adventure left in them.
