Not much drives passionate debate in Utah more than public land use. And sport climbing is securely tethered to that controversy as more thrill-seekers gear up each year to ascend the state's geological wonders. From the bolt wars in Moab to the frenzied route development in American Fork Canyon, Utah remains central in the evolution of the sport. With over sixty interviews and a healthy dose of humor, climber and author Darren M. Edwards tracks the spirit, ethos and feats of bolters who have led the way since the 1980s.
Henry Harman (ca. 1754-1819) and his wife Esther? (d. ca. 1830) arrived in Canada in 1796 and petitioned the British Crown for land. The land was situated 15-20 miles north of the town of York, on the newly opened "Yonge Street". Today that land forms part of the town of Aurora, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They had at least five children born between 1786 and 1795 before moving to Canada in 1796 and settling in King Twp. These children were born in the United States, and five more children were born in King Township. Descendants live mainly in Canada but also in Michigan, New York and California and elsewhere.

But to combine them into a single entity, and to maintain a ‘flow' between ideas with varied resonances, required something ...
To be Enchanted, at one time, meant to be ‘carried away,’ from one’s hum-drum existence, to something or somewhere magical, perhaps even spiritual, at least, always more than merely physically pleasant! Of course, this depended on one’s beliefs in human souls. Take that away, and enchantment would be as mundane as everything else in modern daily life. No Soul means no possibility of Enchantment.
