The Great American Dirtbags: More Tales of Freedom From the Author of Climbing Out of Bed

The Great American Dirtbags is a collection of 20 short stories. The book is a follow up to Climbing Out of Bed, and the main focus is mountain town culture and the dirtbag climbing existence.

Mehall describes himself as a â€œborn again dirtbagâ€ and The Great American Dirtbags portrays his journeys from being a lost teenager immersed in drugs to his most recent adventures on the trails, walls and roads of the American West. As usual his love for freedom, women, and climbing are weaved into the prose. Following in the prose of the beatniks, the athletic counterculture of the dirtbags are carrying the torch with the belief that a simple, rewarding life, close to nature, is still possible in this modern world.

Longtime Editor of the Mountain Gazette, John Fayhee, called the book, â€œa reminder of blissful times past and a bellowing yell to the denizens of the beast we call civilization â€” â€œGet out! Get out of your rut! Get out into the outback while you still can and while itâ€™s still there!â€ The Great American Dirtbags serves as both a primer and a ruminative tribute to a lifestyle we all need now more than ever.â€

Climbing legend and Senior Contributing Editor to Rock and Ice, John Long, described Mehall as, â€œOne of the few adventure writers out who handle the tricky first person voice as if it were made for him.â€
