1. Do folks need climbing ropes to get up Katahdin?
2. Any thoughts on the Polish playboy covergirl who will on a guided trip up Everest this summer? Is this trend of dragging rich climbing newbies up these large mountains a good thing?
3. Is it current in climbing circles to leave the faces clear of pitons, ropes, etc. after a climb? Or does this stuff litter and make it far easier for those following to get up difficult climbs becasue they don't have to spend the time putting in protection at hairy points?
