mikeadam Posted February 8, 2001 Posted February 8, 2001 My mind has drifted since I got on Tuans site. Just found this excellent quote he culled from a friend regarding picking one's partners carefully on Big Wall adventures. "Picking a Partner - I always laugh at the "No Fear" and the "tough guy" image that is forever being thrown at us. Most successful wall climbers are quiet, humble, and low-key. The overall best characteristic of a partner is someone that you get along with. Climbing ability is important, but will you get along with them on day 4 when they keep stealing your Beenie Weenies and pick their nose while handing you an unwrapped jolly rancher? " ~Paul A.
