A friend of mine leads women climbing groups. I think this is a "good thing."
She has shared some stories with me where the women at the workshops really "step up" in situations where if men were present, they may not do so.

From somewhere on the 'net:
"Lindsey Enloe had met Stephen Stinson and had asked her out on a date. Stinson took Enloe climbing saying he had been climbing for 12 years. Allegedly Stinson had not been truthful about his climbing experience or the fact that he was married. The anchor Stinson set failed and Enloe fell, out of love, and into a hospital. Enloe then sued Stinson for the injuries she incurred in the fall.
The case garnered national attention. The Wall Street Journal said "We wonder how many dates she'll get now."
The Intermountain Commercial Salt Lake Times the Record listed the case as settled for $65,000 sometime in August of 2002. That was either an expensive date or an expensive lie. Either way, I suspect the costs for Mr. Stinson did not subside once his wife found out that he had been dating and now owed her $65,000. Even in Utah professionals have to be cheaper!"

He built a top rope anchor by running the rope directly through a sling (no carabiners.)
Woman Sues Date Over Climbing Accident
April 30 2001 at 11:20 AM
Lindsey Enloe is suing her "date" Stephen Stinson over a climbing accident in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah.
Stinson secured nylon climbing webbing, similar to a flat rope, to the top of the rock, but improperly attached that webbing to the nylon rope holding Enloe, the suit alleges. The rope rubbed against the webbing, breaking it and sending Enloe to the ground, the suit said.
The fall left Enloe with a broken pelvis, foot and wrist and a concussion. Her right arm and wrist are permanently impaired and subject to uncontrollable spasms and pain. Enloe also suffered internal injuries and wonders at the age of 29 whether she can bear children.
To add insult to her injuries, Stinson did not tell her he was married at the time of the date, her attorneys said.

Thanks for the nice words, assuming that I can be so presumptious to think you may actually be talking about me. But I just wonder why it sounds more like a eulogy than a current compliment. I'm still out here searching for partners and having many of the same frustrations with finding good ones as always.
