thanks jaybro for a perceptive question, and madbolter1 for an evocative answer.
just when i thought this thread had gone the way of the politico threads and there was nothing left but arguing with LEB-like characters, something worth reading crops back up.

Not me Pete. My account was hacked years ago and that person is messing with my account again. I don't delete my posts.
Edit: Many posts from years ago in this thread were written by the person(s) that have hacked my account here. Weak!

Maybe he read them and saw how crazy he sounded? I have a general rule that I try to check in with to keep myself on a decent path. If I have the thought that more than 2 people are a holes in one day that perhaps I am the one who is the a hole? Time to do a reality check and make sure that I am being a decent person when that happens.. It ain't always easy...

Hey Jaybro,
Only a "fully qualified" teacher could ask a question like that in this thread. Thank you, and thanks also to Richard for an excellent response.
I was contemplating giving up on this thread, but deep down I'm a WOS whore! Carry on !!

I call BS. You have not changed your password in years? And not complained about being hacked to the admin?
What's your password, maybe I can help...

I gotta say Richard, thanks for that. I know it's hard because of how much vitriol your detractors bring, but when you take the high ground and only address your experiences, your writing is phenomenal. You don't need to lower yourself to adressing the negativity- we can all see it for what it is. That was a good read.

I'm inspired by your responses. Seriously, in just a few hours you guys have helped me "get over it" to a very significant extent by encouraging me to really get back in touch with what it's all about. This fighting-the-fight business has gotten increasingly old! I think I needed the catharsis of getting things summed up that way one time. Thank you. I mean it.

Madbolter, that's an excellent piece of writing. You convey a lot there. I was glued to every word. I'd love to hear something like this in Ammon's film. It touches the essence of climbing and cuts straight through to why people do this.
Thank you Jaybro, for posing the question.

A great post in every way, Richard. It calls to mind the greater part of the book, and reminds me of everything I liked about it.
Edit: Oh, by the way, see my PM if you get the chance!

ditto .....
Let me see....
Two people climb an aid route at their limit
Other people who never climbed it don't approve
People that haven't climbed it attack the FA party in a heinous way rather than discussing with the FA party directly
Sh*tloads of speculation and 2nd, 3rd etc hand accounts follow
2nd Ascent actually takes place
Tic toc tic toc.....
