On September 1, 2004, three middle-aged buddies set out on one of the last geographic challenges never before attempted in North America: to hike the Comb Ridge in one continuous push.

To hike the Comb is to run a gauntlet of up-and-down severities, with the precipice lurking on one hand, the fiendishly convoluted bedrock slab on the other-always at a sideways, ankle-wrenching pitch.

War separated them, but they will always be joined in their hearts A short story about love in Warsaw, and in the camps during World War II. I have taken a few liberties with history. I don't know if there were any women in Treblinka 1, and some of the timelines might be off. The escape did happen, and roughly a hundred prisoners made it out, while six hundred did not. Where possible I tried to match reality, and the journey taken in the book matches a real person, but not a Jewish prisoner. I hope you like it.
