differently, from today to start
being a climber?
29. Thank you to Dr. Stoltz who taught me the
meaning of how to climb and who let me use
some of his
wonderful notes in his books.
Thanks also goes to those people in the
photos .Some of the other photographs I have
used I found through Google Images and I
hope that the owners will see how beautifully
they illustrate my points. They have not been
used in any way for commercial gain.
