jordop Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 "most extremists are essentially unhappy persons: they are symptoms of a world that has become socially and mechanically too complex to serve as an easy environment." Quote
gregm Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 sounds like something sigmund frued would say, but the language is more modern so that isn't really an actual wild guess. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Bah! It's whoever wrote that article in the new R&I about that Andy Kirkpatrick character. Quote
jordop Posted January 29, 2003 Author Posted January 29, 2003 . . . boys call yourselves mountaineers? Quote
eric8 Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Colin Wells wrote the Kirkpatrick article but I don't believe it was him. Â Â My first guess would be twight cause he is the classic unhappy alpine extremist. Â 2nd guess Messner Quote
Greg_W Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Barry Blanchard? I'd say Steve House, but he never struck me as that depressed like Twight. Quote
eric8 Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 if by closer jordonp was refering to closer to the nw. I would say it would have to be house cause twight was from seattle. And i can't think of anyone else who would have said it. Â Maybe this will lead to dwyaner posting a picture of big lou. Quote
Greg_W Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 jordop's canadian, right? that's why I said Blanchard. Quote
allthumbs Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Why it was Dr. Frasier Crane of course. Â Quote
jordop Posted January 29, 2003 Author Posted January 29, 2003 Naw, this guy never flipped his viper on crack like Grammer. Â Other nefarious endevors though . . . Quote
jordop Posted January 29, 2003 Author Posted January 29, 2003 Its like that picture in last year's climbing calendar of the guy doing the V0 boulder at the base of The Lotus Flower: avoiding the obvious Quote
Eastsider Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I think I remember that from Beckey in Challenge of the North Cascades. Quote
jordop Posted January 29, 2003 Author Posted January 29, 2003 The old man ponders the Mox  Bred Feckey for a pulitzer Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I think I remember that from Beckey in Challenge of the North Cascades. No way! Beckey it not that philosophical. He's a concrete thinker (or shall I say granite). Quote
