We can appreciate more with their accomplishment. Also, we can relate better with them by comparing with accomplishments of people who we know personally. Our level is just a weekend hobby. Their level is a professional. I respect all my hiking friend's accomplishments more than world class athlete's accomplishments. Let's enjoy our hobby,someday we can be a world class athlete.

How does this post give anyone the opportunity to start a "Look at me, look at me, I did something fast too" thread hijack? The post was about a world class climber achieving an amazing feat, not some not so world class hikers achieving not so amazing feats. The last time I saw something like this I was in the 3rd grade. Actually this post was started to poke a bit of fun at one of our local "not so world class" hikers that is world class in our book. Technically no hijacking happened, it simply continued on the vein that it was started in. (I can say that with great confidence as my husband started this thread) Respect is awesome to have, but the ability to laugh at yourself is awesome-er. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

The iList is your best friend. I've recently added a few more people to my iList. For those who don't know already - If you click on a User's Name, it brings up their profile. (try it with SirHikeaLot or KevinR or mine if you don't like me...) In the middle of the profile you'll see "Ignore This User." Presto, you don't have to look at their drivel anymore.

Oops - exclamation mark - I must be "gushing". Hate it when that happens . . . While we're at it, it might pay to review some relevant info here . Dated, but still on the mark.
