Whoa, yikes. yipee ki ey! I personally have had very good experiences being guided by Madness. Another trip was in the planning stages. I learned that two of my favorite guides recently left, thus the reason behind my inquiry. Is there an answer or not?

Anyone know why?

I like the Mountain Hardwear Chugach Jacket. Synthetic, warm and light. Stuff to softball size.

I wave my arse in the general direction of the so called "vetern climber" (my apologies to the real climbers in advance, you know who you are)

"Four Against Everest" Woodrow Wilson Sayre Any of the early expeditions to Denali e.g. the Sourdoughs

Sitting having a beer in New Paltz, NY arguing/discussing loudly over a particular route in Dick Williams guidebook (Gunks) when this skinny grey haired older gentleman offers his unsolicited opinion, at which time my "very observant" egotistic partner told him to "shove off". (Yes it was Dick Williams and yes I did follow him outside, apologize profusely and he signed my guidebook - Cool guy)

Based on my experience, my book shall be called "Rabid Toproping" One climbers illusion of the ticklish edge battled on single pitch choss.

Is "hard" the measurement of success? When did "success" become equated with sacrifice and suffering? Is simply "failing to die" on a route mean the climb was a success?

Just read this for the second time. Don't know Twight personally, but some of his "techniques" are off the wall. I did not know that the line between going light and stupid was so thin. Climbing hard, intentionally unknown, Elvis
