The Mountains Are Calling and I Must Go

Dear Family and Friends:

Here is a video featuring some of my favorite mountain photographs from 20 years of hiking, trekking and climbing.

I hope this video inspires you to go into the mountains soon.

Please watch this video on a large screen television or monitor and in a darkened room.

Great montage of images, Bill. Especially enjoyed the fantastic perspectives of Burke Khang. Wow!
Due to C-19, I’m doing a lot of solo hiking. Have been atop Baldy 8 times so far, this year. When I slog up the steep Register Trail, legs burning and lungs heaving, I take inspiration from you and can continue upward! k;-)

Great pics and music. I couldn’t help but think of Puchhanga when the Everest south side pics came up. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
“You are an inspiration Bill. Thank you.”

Thanks Bill for the slide show of your memories. So proud of your accomplishments. I was in the Sierra’s last week with family, Silver Lake to Tuolumne Meadow. God is good and has given all of us such beauty in the outdoors
