You have my interest, I will use the google machine. Where you going to include this said link here on a post?

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.

I'm usually too clueless to be heavy handed.  @DHC could be generating the articles via AI for sure.  His account here is quite old and a lot of the photos in his articles (when they worked) appeared to be his?

Maybe @DHC will sign on and explain what is going on....

Crazy story and even crazier that it's deleted the day after it was posted.

Well if you're really a sleuth, it seems there is a long list of well known people that should know Mr Creeden, at least enough to trust him with some historical documents:

Oh yeah, he's legit.  Bulger finisher #11, who completed the list on Jack in 1997!

And I don't think enough of that historical info is on the web for AI to generate a lot of those details, now that I think about it.
