Writing is the gateway to breaking through my endless thought stream and making sense of the world within my mind. With pen in hand I mold the substance of my mind into the structures of my life. — Brandon

Cursing at Mountains

Kowallis’ tale serves up much wisdom on facing tough realities and does so in pithy, down-to-earth prose. He embeds the advice in a cracker-jack adventure story that situates Chris in gripping jams that mirror his psychological travails. The result is a page-turner that challenges readers to think more creatively about how to solve problems in their own lives.

This book’s narrative captures the sense and feel of exploration on the edge of a deep, alpine cave while the accompanying photos beautifully illustrate the hidden treasures that drive cavers to risk the cold, dark reaches of the earth.
