David Roberts, Who Turned Adventure Writing Into Art, Dies at 78
An incredible pioneering mountaineer and prolific writer has passed. One of those people we know as polymaths. The only book I read from him was "In Search of the Old Ones" where he and Jon Krakauer ventured far into slot canyons of the Colorado Plateau looking for signs of the ancient Puebloans. It sparked my interest in learning more about this ancient civilization that was measurably enhanced when I spent three days exploring Chaco Canyon back in 2006. The final ascent, David, Godspeed.
