You were reading a geeky publication? I don't beleive it.

 

I too am incredulous.

 

They chose an interesting pair of examples of "niche" audiences. Not everyone is a "mountain climber," but everyone, in one way or another, is a member of an "ethnic group" (broadly defined). They might as well have said: "...niche audiences, such as wallpaper hangers, or those who must eat food to survive."

 

...of course I know that "ethnic group" is really a euphemism for "minority," but whatever.

What can I say, beer and pizza go great with planning the spring Smiffy trips, and a few our first shots at Rainer. I'd invite you to head outside with us next weekend, but well... I wouldn't want them to think that all climbers are are drooling and anti-social moon.gifwazzup.gif

how do you pre-plan trips to smith? create a regimented schedule of approved climbs? discuss the distance from the crag where the rack goes on?

what can I say, I enjoy climbing with people who aren't bitter, and feel the need to stroke their, ahem.... ego's? moon.gifgrin.gif
