Feck, I see the little "moderator" icon next to your handle. With your special status, perhaps you can be of service. The first and perhaps the most important upgrade for the new Alpine Buddy should be to change the caption under his image. "Enthusiast" is one of those veiled insults that elite mountain climbers use to refer to wannabe climbers. I can think of a handful of synonymous words I've heard over the years....pilgrims, aspirants, gapers, candidates (that last one is Dave Bale's favorite).
Maybe you, with your moderatorial powers, can help here. Let's change his image caption to ALPINE BUDDY.
