specialed Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Now I have two of these rags. Bought this one because of the Hunter article. The piece by Wharton on his and Kelly's ascent of Trango Tower is ridiculous. Without water for two whole days, meanwhile climbing 5.10+ mixed offwidth at 20,000 ft. Definitly an inspiring and lofty level of commitment and suffering. Kennedy's piece on his FA of the Kennedy/Lowe (and then onto the FA of Infinite Spur on Foraker) in the 70's bookmarked with his FA of Wall of Shadows recently shows Kennedy is one of the few people who have made their livelihood from climbing that should be truly respected as a well-rounded individual. He ends his essay by stating that these utterly demanding and committing climbs provided immense personal insight including that climbing is not everything. How true.

Stefan Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 For a man like me who does not have the wife's approval of spending money on this magazine (don't ask, too long of a story), where would one have the opportunity to read these Alpinist magazines?

Matt_Anderson Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Tell her you need money to pay for a self esteem self-help program, spend the money on a subscription that is sent to a friend's place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogen Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I honestly cannot imagine a domestic, even a "political" domestic situation where you need another adults permission to buy a magazine. Did you cheap out on the diamond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
