%title Commentary on “The Climb”
_The Climb_ is a story I wrote in 2008 that still resonates with me to this day. The struggle of moving apart from friends and loved ones in order to achieve new heights is something I have to deal with every day in New York. I enjoy the purity of the concept in this story. I especially love the scene at the summit of the climb. I chose the name Nora because I was enamored with Nora Zehetner after her superlative performance in Brick.
