About

With record numbers of visitors, our National Parks & wilderness areas face a novel debate — do we keep the wild wild? Or do we put up signs & guardrails to make the mountains more like extensions of our urban environments? Rock climber and near-death survivor Francis Sanzaro argues that the wilderness should be a place to encounter and overcome adversity.
