Peter_Puget Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Reading books describing early climbing expeditions one can sense that the French rejected rationalism behaved more like empiricists, while the British rejected empiricism and acted like rationalists. The American of course were pragmatists. Dwayner, have you noticed this same "phenomenon" with regard to other types of adventures? Does this say anything about climbers?
