The Nightstand Climber: A Farewell to Arms

"The Nightstand Climber" follows Janet Christiansen's climbing adventures as she copes with congestive heart failure. Unpredictable weather, large hurricanes menacing the lower latitudes, and threats of planned power outages in 90/90 weather gave that summer a unique 'signature' and made for an unforgettable experience. Her attempts to keep climbing in the face of health scares led her to self-discovery, reconciliation, and unbelievable strength.
