History of pile climbers


Before I left for Berlin, we climbed the New Brunswick dirt pile. You know the one, the 30-foot-tall one near the Rt. 18/Rt. 27 junction? This extremely dangerous climb demanded all the dirt-climbing skills of the international team assembled for the expedition. After a dramatic freak-out 10 feet from the summit, we made it. The view from the top was pretty cool. Dirt piling is mainly a U.S. custom, I learned. They don't pile in Canada.
