Dru Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 And just for the records, all those Boeing engigeer / Mountaineer types, they don't climb because they are adrenaline junkies, they climb because they see climbing as rewarding rule-based, structured thought process. Same with the social aspect of it and having to do certain climbs so you can get your intermediate status or whatever. That adrenaline junky car thief bullshit might apply to dirtbag rock monkey or modern alpinists, but not to your run of the mill northwest mountaineers, who are the ones who have been involved in the recent publicized accidents. masochistic gimp-mask wearing slave = trad climber constipated chemical engineer with slide rule = permabumbly and/or aid climber meth taking, STD riddled group sexer = sport climber amputation fetishist = 8000m climber chronic masturbator = boulderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_climb_4_views Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Interesting thread. I wonder if there's a demographic study of who the non-professional Northwest climbers are?

They get all they need just going to the coffee pot and bumping into the only (homely) woman in the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we may be a pretty boring group, CascadeClimbers characters notwithstanding.... I just asked that very same question in the thread about the SAR costs. If you find the answer to this, let me know. Either that, or we are going to have to design and conduct our own study. The world may depend on it.
