1st of all, they are not illegal everywhere and this is an international website, secondly, we are all mountaineers or climbers so when we talk about anything it always has to do with communicating with climbers...climbers talking to climbers is still climbers talking to climbers, do we always have to talk about the mountains or climbing?

I wonder how he gets his stuff up on the mountain? In his pipe?

Actually no, but it depends on your username.

I think I've done 4 or 5 summits since January, but I can't remember exactly. So far this year many have been repeats (Diablo, Round Top). I don't mind going back, like I have said many times, I don't care what I'm doing as long as I am out in the mountains. Retro pointing appeals to me, ever heard of it? Basically you climb something and top out near the top then turn around...why summit? I did that with Pyramid Peak once when we climbed the colouir...I looked over at the summit a few hundred feet away and just sat down for a beer instead, I had been up there before, and it's just a pile of people talking about which way they came up...I guess I don't value the summit like others do, I just think they are awesome views and another tick mark in my list, I am trying to get away from the tick mark thing, I use to care a lot about putting more peaks on my small list. I will get to them in time as I am out having adventures...trying for a summit this next weekend on a old grade II adventure climb, but I don't need to summit, it's the experience I crave...
