Hans Florine embodies the genius of "and"—collaborative and
competitive, fast and safe, audacious and disciplined, visionary
and quantitative. The themes that run through Florine's 101 ascents
of Yosemite's most iconic route can benefit people who will never
climb a rock, indeed anyone inspired by the idea of a passionate,
lifelong quest of any type.
