Overall, the interview covers a lot. You sound humble but are still willing to discuss your many accomplishments too. The photos are great. Glad you decided to start carrying a camera along the way. Isn't it enjoyable sharing the mountains with others even if only by photograph? Mark I was initially confused about the intro, but immediately realized it was Aron Ralston speaking.

I respect your perspective on life - it's not all about climbing, skiing, moutaineering, etc. - there's tremendous joy in everyday life, God, family, work - it all fits in to a balanced existence. You're a role a model for many and you carry it well. I also love the ability of the Dawson family to "flow with the river". By that I mean you ski when the conditions are right and safe, climb when it fits and feels good, backpack with the right gear for the season, 4X4 when it's right, hunt in season, mountain bike when the timing's right. It's a full Colorado lifestyle going with the flow utilizing the seasons and the conditions. To have the versatility to be able to take advantage of all seasons and conditions....that is true mastery and something that deserves even more respect than all the (gasp) 14er accomplishments. Nice interview.

Your humility comes through and gives guidance. I'm a year older than you and also look forward to many years of finding the joy in backcountry skiing/mountaineering. Lou:

I almost didn't belive it was you in the picture at Denali with that shaggy head of hair.
