DHC Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Below is a link to a website which contains numerous articles I've written looking at Fred Beckey's climbing career from a statistical point of view. But the website contains much more, including a trio of articles on summit register entries. Enjoy.

JasonG Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Wow. that is quite the effort you put into those articles! I especially liked the summit register synopsis.... And FYI, I'm sure that Dallas chuckled because Fred didn't quite clear his "Difficult Ten". And maybe that was the point..... But to be honest, Dallas really admired Fred and climbed with him a fair bit over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rat Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 "Well, this is gonna be interesting.... The website is https://statisticalclimbingguideforfredbeckey.webador.com/articles and was also posted then deleted on NWHikers.net. The links to the articles don't work for me now. Prior to the abrupt about-face, I skimmed through Chapter 18 regarding his Army service & discharge. It painted a less than flattering portrait but seemed to have plenty of documentation. Mr. Creeden has also posted other interesting historical info on NWHikers. AI spoof (seems unlikely but wtf knows these days), the heavy hand of moderation, legal threats, and/or just second thoughts and wanting to save it all for the definitely "not published by the Mountaineers" book? Inquiring minds want to know." Fred Beckey(TM) https://www.fredbeckeyllc.com/ UBI: 604-172-710. "Governing people": Megan Bond.

olyclimber Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I’ll go with “Legal Threats” for 1000 Trebeck. Gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 13 hours ago, rat said: It painted a less than flattering portrait I thought it was pretty fascinating. If anything, it paints a "less than flattering portrait" of the military's policies, not Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Yes, fascinating. The potential duplicity, not the potential acts themselves, is still seems less than flattering in my opinion regardless of the military policy at the time. I was disappointed not to have made it to the other "controversial" section about the Everest expedition. Edited May 26 by rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
