In reply to UKC Articles:
My one experience of working with Katie was in 2005, after our successful Angel Falls climb.
Because the ascent generated a lot of interest from climbing news sources around the world, I'd written a few different write-ups for different magazines, which had then been translated into numerous languages.
Alpinist wanted something different, so I wrote a longer, more involved and more emotional piece, which I remember being quite pleased with.
The reply from Katie came back brimming with further ideas and suggestions for a substantial rewrite which, initially, I resented. I'd put a lot of effort in and created something good already. But then I saw the added value potential and started working to implement her ideas and suggestions.
The result turned out to be one of the most satisfying things I've ever written, and I'm not too proud to admit that I would never have got there without her help and her creative insight.
Thank you (somewhat belatedly!) Katie!
