Now that she is IFMGA certified I am sure she will find a more worthy sponsor. She is probably slumming - like waiting tables while your screenplay is shopped around. Remember, I said this about Steve House (Patagonia): "Steve House is the best alpinist in the world today."

Steve's like a deus ex machina for alpinist debates :D
I see no reason
why our dear Baron's wisdom
should ever be forgot.

What cult would that be? Grown men who walk around the mountains in clown masks?
You may walk around the mountain, but those men climb up them.

I think the poll should be changed to "What percentage of Baron related threads degenerate into Eddie Bauer bashings?"

But then there would only be one choice. 100%.

Or maybe "What percentage of mtn114 and England posts turn into Baron bashing?"

I am so torn.

I'd like to recommend that you guys put him on your foes list so you don't have to read his posts and you guys don't keep cluttering up threads with your constant butthurt (to use his terminology), but on the other hand the way The Baron so effortlessly and unflappably deconstructs you guys... it's like art...

To those of you who feel compelled to share your "proof" with everyone, please read this:

Snape kills Dumbledore.
Darth Vader is Luke's dad.
Neo is in a computer-generated dream.
Verbal Kint is Keyser Soze.
Soylent Green is people.
The narrator is Tyler Durden
Bruce Willis was dead the whole time.

I hope I ruined something for you, too.
