Luminoso

N.S. David loves rock climbing more than anything, but sometimes she wonders why – it hurts, it smells, it makes her toenails fall off. Looking for an answer, she sets off to Mexico with an ambitious goal: climb “El Sendero Luminoso.” At over 1500 feet, this towering limestone mountain is – she freely admits – “way too hard” for her. But as she makes friends, eats too many tacos, attempts to go running, and battles other, more daunting, obstacles, the answer becomes clear.
