I hike because I truly love the mountains, I wish I could have discovered this earlier in life. Why don't you go to the elitest thread where more of your type hang out
No one really gives a shit about technical level here (at least I don't). People are saying you should do more of that hiking you say you love doing. It is quite funny when some guy gives everyone advice online and than you find out he has done one class 1 CA 13er in 2 years he has been here. It sounds especially funny when you say people are jealous of getting 7 summits done. Oh shit, I am sure Dow is itching to collect a thousand dollars so someone could guide him up Kilimanjaro.
2 weeks on Kilimanjaro vs 2 weeks in Bugaboos....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
