He seems absolutely committed to it, as well. He speaks with balance and understanding (and pity) for the foibles that knocked one or another great contributor off of their game. And yet he is gone too...even taking these pages with him, which are actually a kind of tribal history that doesn't belong to any one person anymore. How strange!

Why do you think this is strange? You were completely committed to leaving this site at one point, said there was no debating it and no turning back. You mind was completely made up. But still you changed your mind. He did too.
His articles belong to him and no one else. I hate to see them go too, but he put all the work into creating them.

I have deleted all of my mountain and route pages. Now I'm working on deleting my climber's log entries and my photos. I'm just not interested in contributing to Summitpost anymore.
