I wish to note another category of Trip Reports on ST: that I find most enjoyable.

Fun Stories, that are------Mostly True:

These Trip Reports: use fictional enhancement to make the climbing adventure more fun.

The first one of these I noticed, and still perhaps the best, is by: nature & drljefe.
Drama on Baboquivari Peak
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/842954/Drama-on-Baboquivari-Peak-TR

Then I was inspired by Survival:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1038351/Journey-To-The-Planet-Of-Prehistoric-Women-TR

After I read Survival’s tale: I spiced up my story of 1971 adventure in the Sawtooths, and added a quest for “The Lost Crystal Cave.”

http://www.supertopo.com/tr/Pursuit-of-Bluebonnet-Tower-and-the-Lost-Crystal-Cave-Sawtooths-Idaho/t10506n.html

I never dreamed so many people would believe every word of that story. I will swear: the climbing parts are all true.

Other prime practitioners of the art of the “Fun Story, that is mostly true” are:
