I had a dumb thought earlier, so I thought i'd throw it out there. If SP suddenly closed down and I could only access 5 people's contributions (whether they be mountain pages, TR's, routes, pic's, reviews, etc - but no PM access), who would they be?

- Bob Burd
- Scott Surgent
- Dow Williams
- Tarol
- Scott

These are my five, but by no means is this the authority on whats right or wrong. There are hundreds of incredible contributors on this site. Ironically some have some lower power scores, but for me, pack a bigger "punch." For what and where I like to climb, these would be my 5.

Who would yours be?

MVS
Dow Williams
Bubba Suess
Josh Lewis
Fred Spicker

Well this is interesting...i like this thread..

Mine would be about photography, pure and simple:

Noondueler
Icarreau
EricChu
Chaberton
Antonio Giani

I think 5 is unfair....should be 50

Sorry, can't limit it to 5. Either due to usefulness of their data or curiosity about their content:

Flatheadnative
Bob Sihler
Kane
Aaron Johnson (rest his internet soul)
Nader
Liba

So many others, though...SaintGrizzly (rest his soul), BobSmith, Dean, RPC, Surgent...



UNFAIR question, I call BS! There are too many great contributors on this site to limit it to 5! Nanuls! Marcsoltan, Gangolf's Teutonic fineness...

Pah, unfair question. Next...

1) Fletch
2) Exciteable Boy
3) PAROFES
4) Sarah.simon

ooohhh... forgot Dean and Liba and Sihler... ooohhh... good ones!

Fletch
ExcitableBoy
PAROFES
sarah.simon
MoapaPk

& sihler

Great choices so far. I'll add Noondueler. He has a lot of great bay area peak pages.

- Nanuls
- Gangolf haub (he covers half europe!)
- Visentin
- Brade (to keep reading the "matterhorn in winter tastes bittersweet" trip report)
- Corax (also for his trip reports!)

Anyone remember CA, the guy who posted the Outer Space area page and posted some totally made-up routes for Alaska and Colorado?

Actually, that's a loaded question. My choices are people who have left SP (MYSTERIOUSLY) for one reason or another. Only their images and profile pages
remain.

Perhaps they went on to greener pastures? Who knows ... they're not looking to be recognized or exploited in some way.

Think of how much Josh would have amassed by now if not for his multiple bannings. He is truly a very gifted young man!
