"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Route over the crestWallace Col, just south of Mt. Wallace, is an easier route to cross the crest than the col between Wallace and Haeckel.

Re: Route over the crestI have read this, but it certainly didn't appear that way to me as I passed below it. More importantly (at least for peakbaggers like us), the Hackel-Wallace Col provides easy access to Mts. Haeckel, Wallace and Fiske. Since most of the pages I've added to SummitPost describe relatively minor (often unnamed) summits, I tend to target my content to those intent on climbing multiple mountains.
I've added a note about the Wallace Col option to the page, though. Thanks for the feedback.
