Getting to the Top is Optional; Getting Down is Not

Don Adams has been climbing the toughest peaks in the world for 25 years now, and for many of those years, he has been teaching others how to do it. This inspiring story in the Los Angeles Times takes us along on a wilderness training course led by Adams, that delves deep into the Sierras on a wintry night, and later climbs to the top of a 10,000 footer.
The writing is vivid, but the piece comes with even more vivid video clip. Recommended for all audiences, except those who are chicken-hearted.
