Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Equipment for belay on Willamson chimney?

Please allow me to respond to your flame.

No, I have never entered my name into any summit registers of the Sierra peaks I've climbed (or any Scottish and European peaks I've climbed), since I don't need my ego boosted. I am not a peak bagger, and don't need the world to read about my "amazing" adventures, unlike you and a couple of others in this forum.

Any information I've tried to contribute has come from a life-time of climbing and hiking, as a former SAR member, and out of a desire to see people travel safely in our mountains. If that rubs you and some others the wrong way, all I can say is, suck it up, Princess.

By the way, nice work with your spell-checker. Would "abseil" been easier to understand?

Speaking of SAR teams, have you ever considered contributing your obvious wealth of knowledge and experience by becoming a SAR volunteer yourself, or would that be below you?
