You don't date your Higher Power. I don't believe in God, so a mountain it is! Find your Surfer Girl, but don't find her in the mountains.

Nor your therapist. Now I see the error of my ways.
Maybe we are almost ready to debate #8: "Never bivouac"? That one always looked controversial to me. I would understand "Never deliberately", but we have to plan for unplanned, right? So if it happens accidentally and we are ready to survive it, would that break the commandment?

Re: Gerry Roach's Book - Fourth Edition
Thank you sir! That makes perfect sense. . . . Apparently, I'm not quite old enough to have Surfer Girl in my mental pop-culture catalog, but Jerry is (disclosure: I'm 64; so Jerry was old enough to go to Beach Boys concerts when I was a child.)

Re: Gerry Roach's Book - Fourth Edition
I just xeroxed the relevant 3-4 pages from Roach. Those pages dont disappear when battery runs low. The more backup information, the merrier,RadioJay wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 11:07 pm 14ers.com is a better source and the app is useful when you are actually on the trail. Who wants to bring an entire book on the hike? Roach has some routes Bill doesn’t have, but that might be on purpose. Bill’s site is aimed at non-technical climbers which is a good way to go for safety reasons. I used Roach for years before joining 14ers.com in 2010 or 2011. I did get a kick out of Roach’s lack of detail as if he was bored, “... at tree line, pick your route.” This was in the old days when there weren’t always established trails. I remember those days.

Exactly -- this used to be the way when working at an office with a copy machine, and/or having a scanner+printer ("all-in-one") at home.
But "OK Boomer" (or "OK Gen Xer") is a fair response
