Arguably the most gripping alpine adventure ever written, and perhaps my all-time favourite. I read it aloud whilst cowering beneath a thick warm blanket.
Much thanks to our Librarian Steve for posting this.

The cards were played and we had drawn aces.
A quote I have always remembered, thanks Steve.

Man, I MISS my buddy! Still have dreams of him, wish I could still dial him up and hear his voice again. Have some of his ashes and a beat up rurp I sit in my passenger seat when I go to the mountains just to make sure he has his old seat!
Peace

Thanks Steve, for the original post of the epic of epics.
And thank you Ron, for sharing that The Bird is still going places. That's super cool.
