Sidmo...you are burning strands here. I'm offering to sit down and let you tell me what you knew "back then". No strings attached. You name the time and place and I'll be there. What do you have to lose?

That's simple enough to answer. Look at the "man's" post, read into them. Attacking you is probably one of the few things he has left in his life that he has to hang on to. He will never meet with you or anyone else, doesn't have the balls and is too far gone in mental disease to do anything then keep bumping this. And from what I have heard, if he was there it was in the shadows, taking scraps others left behind as he wasn't able to integrate into the Valley society even then. He has nothing to share other then what's left of his diseased mind.

It's actually fun to read.

Howdy Taco,
This is my first post.
I figured it should be in this thread since I just spent the last two weeks, off and on, summiting this beast.
...whew.
I feel like I should shower.

Licky grow up - you don't get to control everyone's agenda, certainly not mine - you guys can think I'm not busy, I don't care really - I look at this thread every once in a while, post even less and don't think about it in between - if you want to believe otherwise have at it - as for you licky, I do not have time to sip coffee with you period- even if you were kissing my ass, I don’t have time to go anywhere to meet you or the inclination to - but if you think that means I don't get to have an opinion or express myself vote with your mouse and click past my posts - again, I won't know and don't care - if you wanted to talk, on a phone that is, I might squeeze a call in sometime, but it's not something I care much about - I'd like to read a book about the plane, but I read plenty of books and don’t need to - and I don't care if it's your book, someone else's book or no book, but I assure you it won't be my book - you really lost me when you accused me of wanting to steal your research and beat you to press - licky that was so delusional I'm not sure I'd feel safe in the same starbucks with you - and again, I don't have the time to meet you so forget it - phone call only, and only maybe

This has been a great read, from way back when to now.
But I have to chime in........ Sidmo, you are such a flirt! I can almost hear you stamping your foot in indignation at Licky's suggestion (Lordy!)that you meet.
I think your gagging for it really, and Licky has to try just a little harder and he will get to pop your (metaphorical) cherry.
Go on, you know you want it. ;-)
(But if you decide to keep arguing it's still entertaining in a train wreck sort of way!)

This made me laugh out loud. Sidmo has had the time to follow this thread for years and type up over 300 posts to it. And Sidmo is a one-thread wonder. He has never posted to any other threads, only to this one. This would make you believe that he comes to the Taco only to follow this thread. He has the time to do that. But he's "too busy" to meet. LOL.

It's very important that you realize that he could not care less

Makes you wonder how OCD/narcissistic he can be with things he ACTUALLY cares about....
There are so many interesting offshoots that came from the plane crash and the "gold rush" that followed for the poor climbers of Camp 4 and the adventures that spawned as a result. I've heard several that would make for great storytelling, including one about how a well-known canadian climber who was one of the first up there with a chainsaw cutting through the ice and how he managed to get his loot back across the border into Canada.
Between all the stories and info provided by this "climbers" website and coupled with the backstory of the plane and it's occupants, you've got more than enough info to write a book. Maybe Sidmo is right, are you even working on this anymore? Did you lose interest? Did you realize the task was too great to put into words? The plane crashed in 77, this thread started in 2005, in all that time you still haven't put any pen to paper? If I were you (not only would I be done the book) but I'd take the advice several have given on here and publish the easy story, the gold rush for dirtbags. It's an easy sell a ton of people would love to read. Sure you can claim that climbers are too small a demographic but a lot of mountain literature sells very well. At least well enough for you and Sidmo to get some couples counselling.

I'd like to hear about these and would buy a book that covered this.
I'm not interested in reading about what kind of engine was in the plane, or what kind of sneakers the mechanic was wearing when he last worked on it.

I'd think by now sidmo you'd have known the answer to your question. I'll publish when I have the complete story. Period. Would you have me do anything less? Simple question, yes or no?

Good Question...

There is everyone's answer.
The "complete" story (like every story) will never be known therefore this one will never be written.

Reilly, there is always only one pilot. The other is the co-pilot. The pilot was married, the co-pilot was not. The pilot was Jon Glisky, his co-pilot was Scott Nelson

Pretty sure you have the copilot's name wrong. It might be a while if you wait for the complete story.
