[lit-ideas] Re: gashlycrumb tinies

I'm glad you posted that link, Robert -- my bit of beauty for the day, a  
respite from chaos.  The pictures are stunning.  I can't imagine what  the 
ranges 
look like "in person".  How did I not know about the ice  towers??  I am awed 
by them.  I'm an ocean person, but when we drove  through the Grand Tetons 
last year it gave me a new appreciation for things  lofty and grand.  I imagine 
that in ice and forget how to think.

Just a note of  clarification: it was the Gasherbrum tinies that she 
carried. A complete  account of her her journey can be found in the 
American Alpine Journal for  2004, or  at

Robert  Paul,

waiting for Hegelian enlightenment, or hypoxia, whichever comes  first.
