Those who know me are not shocked by this comments. 8)

Happy trails! :-D
Imagine criticizing beers you've never tried! Notice that I'm not putting down your craft beer preferences. Drink what you like, but don't be a dingus.

i can't believe there's two pages of debate on sharpie vs. acetone, and meanwhile, no one notices that he talked about dumping beer on a summit?
i'm pretty sure dumping beer violates LNT principles. everyone knows, the correct way to dispose of beer on a summit is to drink it and then piss it out an hour later.

That, then, qualifies as a natural and safe mode of disposal. But dang sure better not empty it straight out of the can… cuz why would you in the first place??

It was a bottle and warm Corona was pretty terrible, but maybe the marmots liked it. As for the Julius, the mountain got a small offering and I got the rest. I figure there's always a beer tent/trailer just after the finish line for marathon runners, so it must be good for mountain climbers as well :-D .

Regarding the criticizing of beers I've never tried, I spent the early journey of my initial beer testing phase of life trying all kinds of beers (except for the types I listed before ... I do have some principles). I have the feeling that I am, shall we say, longer in the tooth than you. After much deliberation, I have narrowed down said "justifiable qualifiers" for what I'm willing to drink (and actually enjoy drinking). I, in no way, am trying to infer that I am insisting all imbibers have the same good taste as mine ... by all means, to each his own ... different strokes for different folks. I was merely stating my opinion regarding the topic of the thread.

But, Mr. Interloper, as we proceed to the next step towards our bonafide fast-developing friendship, I was curious as to the current definition for "dingus" in the Urban Dictionary ... =D>

Dingus: A person who occasionally pisses you off, but at the end of the day you still love them. :iluvu: They're usually your best friend who makes fun of you from time to time. Dingus can be used as a comment when they irritate you, or in a few cases, it can be endearing.

Backatcha, Interloper, let's go with the endearing being the gal that I am!

Happy Trails! :-D
As if none of us have ever come back with a cool, quasi-epic story instead of being victim to tragic rockfall, a fatal stumble, a heart attack, an embolism, a lightning strike, a bear attack, collapsing cornice, some psycho with an axe, a falling tree, carbon monoxide, even falling asleep at the wheel getting to a mountain. If you can't accept the fact that sometimes "s**t happens", then you live with the illusion that your epic genius and profound wilderness intelligence has put you in total and complete control of yourself, your partners, and the mountain. How mystified you'll be when "s**t happens" to you! - FM
