David Cossa's New Book "Now That Was a Day to Remember!" is an Engrossing Memoir Sharing the Author's Extensive Adventures and Experiences in Sport Mountaineering
Recent release "Now That Was a Day to Remember!" from Page Publishing author David Cossa is an autobiographical reflection on the author's life, from his free-ranging Colorado childhood, through service in the US Navy, to his many gripping adventures on rugged mountain peaks and trails.
PORT ORCHARD, Wash., April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- David Cossa, also known as "Mountain Dave," an avid mountaineer and long-distance hiker who has summited 250 peaks throughout the western United States and Canada, has completed his book "Now That Was a Day to Remember!": a riveting account of close calls, close encounters with dangerous wildlife, and the majesty of America's wild western ranges.
What is it like to lead climbs on Mount Rainier or hike for one hundred miles in the Grand Canyon? How about watching Mount St. Helens go off just before getting in a 2,500-foot gully avalanche? Learn what life is like along the Pacific Crest and Arizona trails. Experience the serendipity of catching a wild horse with Indians in Havasu Canyon, of a chance meeting with climbing guides who take readers up the most famous rock climb in Canada for practice and enjoy the spectacle of a biker gang taking over a bar in West Yellowstone.
Close calls galore including rappels gone bad, massive rockfalls, crevasse problems, and a flood in Paria Canyon. Go through the Grand Canyon in a wooden dory like John Wesley Powell did, meet an Alcatraz escapee in Athens, meet a good witch who grants a favor, life on an aircraft carrier. What's it like to work in Yellowstone as a surveyor, to meet a guardian angel? What makes one's life flash before their eyes or cause them to shiver uncontrollably because of fear? What are the three stages of shock? Bear stories galore as well, and hopefully, the short stories provide readers with both humor and insight.
It's all in there and more including much to say about the sport of mountaineering—why, what, who, where, and how—a synopsis and list of his favorite climbs and places visited over the years.
