The Nomadic Monk

On a three-day summit push, Fr. Nathan Sparks camps among and traverses the glaciated peaks of Mt. Adams, a 12,000 foot stratovolcano in Washington. Amid sleepless nights in the roaring wind, a snow squall, and the effects of altitude, he makes his ascent surrounded by dizzying heights and sweeping vistas. Through it all, he reflects on mountains and the human realities of doubt and faith.
