You might want to correct the spelling of Fred Beckey's name -- there are two "e"s. I'm on a campaign to fix this througout Summitpost.org. Make the fix and let me know, and I'll increase my score on your page.
This reminds me of the time I was talking with a buddy on the trail about various climbs, sprinkling the conversation with references to "Beckey says this" and Beckey says that". A neophyte climber with us finally asked "Who is this Becky, and how come she knows so much about climbing?"

Re: Give Fred His Due!
Thanks for the msp correction. I contribute quite a bit to SP and type so fast that I do get in a few msp's. My wife is kind enough to proof most of my work however. It does always amaze me that those of us who know Fred see him as simply a climbing peer (what he prefers) and those who pretend to know him, see him as a god. Cheers.

Re: WILDIt is Nader, the 20k it takes to get back in this valley makes it rather remote. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.

Re: :-)Unfortuantly, she was just named after a British merchant ship, but I did have a few Hoegaardens in celebration of our attempt. Cheers.
