The NPS should ask David Lee to lead a campfire singalong at Curry.
I'll suggest it to Michael Anthony the next time I see him in Glendora.

Michael Anthony isn't in Glendora anymore. Sold the house and now is ensconced in a house on the water in Newport Beach! Boat tied up on his dock, lights blazing, and Chicken Foot playing, the New Years Eve Blast was great!!!!

I hate climbing books, they're stoopid :-)
If I wrote a book it will be so full of bullsh!t that only the boob dufuss always would believe it :-)

Ho Man, that it such an awesome story! BOOK! BOOK! BOOK!
Werner's the real deal in more ways than one ☝️ He's told me a story or two and I've heard others.. and man o'man, i- and i think anyone that owns a guidebook would want His book centered on their coffee table! i love the humor He evolves throughout His storytelling😂 and everytime i reread it i learn something new, like wit a topo.
i hiked equipment up to lost arrow tip with Werner for a Marlboro shoot once(isn't book worthy tho) as it started to rain a burst came over the radio, "the shoot is off!" So we rested with a ciggy, Then proceeded to race down faster then a ram down the hill to The Wiggins' Spread. OMG! Food and beer forever and everyone was there!!!And a fat paycheck to boot! I love you Earl, Werner, Merry
my best non-accomplishment day EVER

They fly right into their mouths and bite off chunks of meat and then fly away .....

I'd read it,
I say;
Bring the bullsh!t Braun. :)
Count me in. It wouldn't be just a climbing book. I'm sure. Gotta be a lot of stories locked up in the duck's head.

But Werner, the thing about a truly great story... is that it actually doesnt matter if its true or not. Write your stories, I for one would read them.

Werner: As your old ski coach, I add my voice to those who encourage you to WRITE THE BOOK! You've given so much to Yosemite and the climbing community, that you should top it off with your perspective, tales and, maybe, some bullshit of the last 40 or more years in the great valley. I will be in line to buy a first edition. All best......Yeti

Write the book, Werner!!!
Regards from someone who has been watching you since the mid 1970s. If EVER there was someone who has seen the sh#t, done the sh#t, and knows the sh#t it is WERNER!!!
DO IT! Get someone to transcribe stuff you talk into a recorder if that is what it takes.

I'm sure the reborn duck will only talk about stooopid ST and the grand computer all over that book. What the heart is full of, will drip out of the mind and down on his grand PC.
Don't spread ducktalk everywhere. Save the duck from himself and the future... It's a fair decision not to try writing that book...
Writing that book is fair too in the most improbable of senses...

Werner - Reason to write book: $$$$
If you have plenty of cash already, then never mind.

Not that I'd mention it, but after you write the book, you can tour it!
Win Win!
