Alpinism 101

[DPS]

I wrote an article on summitpost that was an outline for an alpinists education. Apparently, Reinhold Messner 'Likes' it on FB: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reinhold-Messner/23286622286

Great article, Dan!

And you've been endorsed by the Master of the Seventh Grade himself. Good on ya!

Great article...thanks for the links to other resources too, i found them very useful as an aspiring alpinist myself.

Nicely done, Dan. An article like yours would be useful at the top of the newbies forum.

Good work Dan, very cool tidbits in your article.

It's a nice article, a lot of good work put in.

 

However, i think that Facebook page is ABOUT Messner, not by him...

[sobo]

Right, but he still "Likes" Dan's work. That was the comment made.

[olyclimber]

i think the point is that who ever created that Facebook page (and I don't think it was Messner) "liked" the article...not Messner himself. big difference.

 

but that misses the point, which is to check out DPS's article.

OK, yah, whatever, you win.

I agree that the point here is to view Dan's work, which IMO is exemplary.
