I know a lot of you won’t reply, but I have a question for you, just in case you do. 
          
          Would you guys read my quick writes for school? 
          
          I’ve been writing a lot, and I want to publish more on this account, but I want to publish something you guys would enjoy reading. 
          
          If any of you have suggestions, don’t be afraid to reach out and tell me. I don’t bite, I swear. Lol.

I am intrigued by your choice of the summit tower of Mount Waddington for your story, 'Mountain Path'. This view is taken from the NW Summit, and it shows Mount Munday in the background. I climbed through the Waddington Range in 1971, and I put a new route up the main tower's northeast buttress. What is your connection with the mountain?

Wow....
            
            I know that’s not a lot to say, but this little bit of history has me stunned. As heartbroken as I am to learn that people have died trying to climb this gorgeous mountain, I’m glad to learn of its story. 
            
            Thank you so very much for sharing, sir. You’ve brightened up my day. :-)
            
            I guess what they say is true: “A picture’s worth a thousand words.”

@SoldiersLegacy — No, this mountain, Mount Waddington, was called Mystery Mountain when it was first identified in 1925. It was spotted on a very clear day from the summit of Mount Arrowsmith, 125 miles away on Vancouver Island. It is very isolated, and it stands head and shoulders above all its neighbours. For a decade, it was one of the major climbing challenges in the world, and after many unsuccessful attempts and some deaths, it was finally climbed in 1936. It's now recognised as one of the major mountaineering challenges in North America. Your photo shows the top 3000 feet of the main summit, and there are another 10,000 feet of heavily-glaciated mountain below that.

I have no connection, sadly. I thought it was a beautiful picture, and to me it held a certain sway over me where I had no words, and so I used it. 
            
            I know I sound shallow for that reason, but the picture itself seemed to pull me in, and I hoped it’d do the same for its readers. 
            
            If the reason why I chose the picture is wrong in any way, I’ll take it down, no fuss no muss. 
            
            You say that you put a new route up the main tower’s northeast buttress, does that mean that you are part of the crew that maintains it?
