I don't follow comp climbing so I hadn't heard of Gord McArthur, but he has a self-published book coming out in January called 'Throwing Hope' about the challenges and hardships that made his ice climbs. I'm dubious about it, but maybe... #mountainlit #climbing

ICYMI, like me... 'The Corridor', a memoir by Iain Peters, won this year's Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature. Well done, Mr. Peters. #mountainlit #climbingbooks #climbing
I will read this.

I think I am on the verge of identifying THE list of climbing books, plus my personal favorites. Which aren't the same thing, interestingly. A little bit more to go, but I'm getting there. #SuburbanMountaineer #mountainlit #climbingbooks
June's newsletter for my mountain lit blog is being sent!

Good morning. Three-fifths through, it became abundantly clear that Trotter's book was different than Tommy Caldwell's or Steve House's memoirs. Check out my latest review of 'Uplifted' by Sonnie Trotter.

Was Sonnie Trotter's new book about a pivotal moment in his life, or what lead up to a newsworthy first ascent, like many climbing books. Nope. Check out my latest post:

How important are print climbing magazines today, to you? Are they still relevant in this digital age? #climbing #mountainlit
This is either the most boring thing I have ever written or the best list of current titles by relevancy today. Thoughts?

I picked this up yesterday, as is my tradition. I'll get back to reading #mountainlit after the draft in March.
[ed. Liar. Why say that at all?]
Okay. Right, that schedule is highly exaggerated. I'm just very excited to get started.

This looks good.

Really happy the CA postal strike ended... I received my thank-yous from the Banff Mountain Film & Book Festival. The Buff is beautiful and I love the sticker.

I feel like my cameo was shoehorned into this program, but I am still proud to have been invited to speak about mountain lit on The Forum from @bbcworldservice.bsky.social. It had quite the panel, including Dawn Hollis.

I was reading a passage I might have skipped and used it as a jumping off point for a tangent on climbing style. It has a unique meaning and isn't always handled well, is it?

Natalie got free shipping off of my climbing book order, and I removed 57 titles from my Long-Short List of mountaineering classic candidates. Check out my latest post:

Sent off a book review to Alpinist Magazine. 321 words, 21 over. We'll see how much more the editors ask for, changes in focus... or cut. Sometimes the Alpinist reviews are a mere 200! #SuburbanMountaineer #mountainlit #climbing
Pre-work book review "work." It’s really not labor. #SuburbanMountaineer #mountainlit #booksbooksbooks #climbing
Books for those readers that found and enjoyed the climbing disaster genre, but want more without the outcome you know is coming.

Have you read Alex Lowe's widows memoir. I had postponed reading it for years, until now. I wish I read it sooner:

I finally read 'Forget Me Not' by Jennifer Lowe-Anker. It was not surprising, actually, but it did change me. Here's my review:

I discovered Banff winner David Stevenson's blog and am enjoying it in bits and chomps. This line seems relevant to you: "Once Macklin told to me not to worry, that after I died, he would take good care of my library of mountaineering books. Predeceased. What a shitty word that is." #mountainlit
As reported on the Enormocast podcast in the Banff interview I linked to previously, Barry Blanchard has new book in front of a publisher. #mountainlit #climbing
I pointed out the books to Schicklefritz amd he says, "You're such a nerd."

Taking in a little of the Banff film fest, thanks to my modest (very modest contributions to the festival.) #SuburbanMountaineer #mountainlit #banffmountainfestival
