Talk by GWEN MOFFAT
' We had the mountains to ourselves that day. and in the quiet of the big cliff, in the feel of holds again-under the hand. under the foot-just these four points of contact keeping you on the rock. here there was a backwash of security. a feeling of coming home- These were the values on which I'd built my life.'
