Big_Wave_Dave Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Hey Mike, nice article on you in the Oregonian. Keep up the good work. What did you think of the article? Did they get it right? It was very wise for you to describe yourself as a loose cannon before someone else got to it. Quote

avypoodle Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Saw Mike on the MRNP Centennial Video on PBS last night. Modest, down-to-Earth, shows absolutely zero contempt to those he risks his own well being to rescue. Pretty unique these daze. Thanks Mike Quote
Big_Wave_Dave Posted June 26, 2002 Author Posted June 26, 2002 With the recent helicopter crash and rescue on Rainier, it's timely that kudos go out to not only Gauthier but all rangers and yes, even those pesky mountain rescue folks. Yes mountaineering is fun but of course can have very serious consequenses. Thanks in advance for any rescue services that may ever be required by anyone, anywhere (I'm hoping to build up good Kharma points here). Quote
pindude Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Mike, Too bad there's not more "loose cannons" like you. Thanks for all you do. May things quiet down for you and you get some days off! Cheers, Steve Quote
HernyG Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Yeah Mike - I'd like to second pindude. The end of the article seems to indicate you could use some days off. Take a vacation far from climbing this fall. How about Paris? Go see the worlds best art museums and have an espresso at an outside cafe. You seem to like art and the air fares are cheap in winter. You can find a cheap hotel in the “Let’s Go” book. But more importantly perhaps, you can’t see any mountains from anywhere in Paris. But if you can’t resist, THE MOUNTAINS are only a three hour high-speed train ride away. As a self-reliant climber, I am not going to say your work is indispensable. But you should know that your book that provides concise information and your rescue efforts above all are very much appreciated. Quote
Big_Wall_Betty Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Is it just Betty, or are the new chicks on this site kind of rude?

snowleopard_x Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 Big Wave Dave - How did you find yourself here?! Are you living in Portland now? Small world. We should meet up some day, if only to say we did. Quote
