Dru Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 A famous climber wrote this in his diary and it is quoted in his biography: "A great hardness is setting in, and I am increasingly able to treat the petty and the mundane with utter contempt...I will do many things for people I respect, and for fools nothing. They deserve to be trampled on." Any guesses as to who it might surprise you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 JON Muir is a crazy Australian guy from Arapiles who climbed Everest and wears hand sewn rabbit fur clothes. Naw you are all still way off. Here are two hints. 1) It is a guy, who is dead now. 2) It was written in the 1960's. So much for Twight, Stevie Haston, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
