I.e., if you're doing something for fun, or for a genuine personal reason, that's great, and I applaud your efforts. If you're doing it so everyone in your hiking or climbing or whatever club KNOWS you're doing it, well this kinda takes something away.
But how come, every time someone does something like this, whether it's peakbagging, or a speed "record" attempt".......how come, every time it happens, if it's being done as a "personal challenge".......if this is true, then how come everyone knows all about it ahead of time?
