tanstaafl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I read Warren Harding's "Downward Bound" earlier this summer and there's an index of climbers in the back, rating them by their moral purity. Chouinard was the purest of course, and I believe that Bridwell was pretty pure but "lacks the overall pizzazz to be God." One climber I'd never heard of was mentioned, with a note that he'd found climbing too dull and had recently taken up whitewater kayaking, concluding that "we don't expect he'll be with us for long."

JayB Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Wonder if the climber in question was Walt Shipley? Sadly prophetic if that was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Shipley, *him* I'd heard of! It was Al McDonald, or a name close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
