iain Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 Another vote for Conrad Kain and the other incredible early guides up there. Chopping steps all the way up the Kain Face on Robson for clients! The pioneering guides of Roger's Pass. Reading old copies of CAJ and the Columbia mtns guides is humbling. Quote
Crackbolter Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 I can't believe you guys want to be like anyone! Don't you think that what you have accomplished is worthy? If not then get your shit in gear and go climb something hard. After all, our generation has the ability to take what was learned by every generation before us and bring climbing to the next level. All you gotta do is on-sight free solo the North Norweigan Buttress of Mount Index! Then you will be a hero! Okay, so maybe that is a bit too tough, maybe just find new lines in the Enchantment Plateau. Paul Boving dodn't climb all the hard ones Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 Walter Payton was tough. However I prefer Earl Campbell as one of the original steamroller running backs Quote

Given the option of chanelling someone from outside the climbing community: William Blake, Poet and unintensionall taoist... that would make me poetry in motion Quote
