Scope & Content |
Bernard Gillett shares a captivating description of his lifelong development as an accomplished mountaineer and ultimately a recognized guide book author. Bernard is the third in a chain of four generations of his family who have climbed Longs Peak which started with his grandmother's climb in 1913. He also represents an important human link with previous generations of notable area climbers and is now passing on that long and rich heritage as he mentors younger climbers. One highlight of the interview is Bernard's sharing the emotions associated with climbing challenging and dangerous routes on Lumpy Ridge and other climbs in Rocky Mountain National Park. |
