Overheard at a Bar
"Nothing on an 8,000 ft peak could be as difficult as the Kautz Headwall."
"You're a dumbass."
Sometimes I think if one were to talk loud enough for long enough, one could simulate the effects of altitude at sea level. Hypoxic bar-talk shit. Take a deep breath and reflect, champ.
Why do people focus on elevation so much? If you're a downhill skier, what matters is change in elevation, and the manner in which that relief is achieved. Aiming to ski only the highest peaks is about as smart as aiming to ski in the coldest places. I have no desire to traverse the Arctic Ocean. Maybe I could try to be like Method Man and
...swim the English Channel backstroking.
You don't know me or my style.

It sure does not look like much fun though. Who
cares about the difficulty? The Wilson looks like a pleasure to ski though.
Tical don't need no backstroken swimin, his sac so big, dude can float the channel while backstorken the honeys.
