Walt and I were climbing in the Rockies when we decided to stop and shoot this video. We’d just spent a few hours battling despair because we’d come across yet another one of those false summits that makes you want to kill yourself.

Mountain climbing provides lots of great metaphors for book writing, business, and life. See if you don’t agree.
