STAYING ON GUARD

A Spiritual Encounter of Miracles and Gratitude to Discover Life's Purpose


by Dan Wenker
Illustrations by Nicole Gabriel

While hiking down from the Grand Teton in Wyoming, sixty two year old Dan Wenker slid into an ice mote and dropped sixty feet, landing on a small three-foot ledge under the ground. Inside the hold, it was pitch black and wet. Staying on Guard is his story of how he survived the experience and went on to have more adventures.
Dan began mountain climbing in his fifties, and despite more than one accident and a near death experience, he is not done yet. In these pages, he shares the value of staying active in mid-life and late-life, how to do so safely by staying on guard, and the importance of finding your why and having wonderful and meaningful experiences.
