Writing in a thread about owning pages etc, I wrote about whose here. Here, on Summitpost.
And thinking about it, it is amazing and the diversity of the members here is a fantastic thing.
There's such a variety on this site, from those who never get out into the real wilderness, to those who spend days and weeks to get to a remote place and climb there without support or comfort. There's hikers who stay on trails, there's those who mainly climb rock routes close to the road, there's FA seekers, there's desert rats and Arctic foxes. There's the big mountain alpinists and the solo rock climbers. There's those who only climb after having beta, there's those who create the beta. We're from all over the world. From those who have the Himalaya as back yard, to the ones who live in vast desert flat land. One cannot expect that everybody shall grasp the reality of another group's achievements. Sometimes we do, and if there's a place to learn that, it's here.
Me, I'm a wanderer in my soul. Roots in the Arctic, south and outbound.
What are you?
