I used to be an avid climber. I grew up in Tucson, Arizona which is surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges. The Catalinas, The Rincons, Picacho Peak and many more.
I am older now with too many injuries to pursue that lifestyle anymore. But I can still read about it and, as I am just now beginning to do, make contact on line with people who actually climb. I can live vicariously through you guys.
I’m beginning my ‘reads’ with fiction and hopefully will continue some online relationships and trade reading material.
See you in the hall.

alun – UIAGM/IFMGA above: ‘Well your a man on a mission…’(30 Sept, 2009). Really! Over the last forty years UIAGM/IFMGA guides have hounded; put-out of business independent guides; ensured that their work was ruined (with assistance from the BMC) now that, is what I call a – mission…

There is also concer about the emergence of BMG advertising this time, in ‘Climb’ magazine in its January, 2010 edition on page 68:’British Mountain Guides are proud to be a member of the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA). Whereever you see the BMG, or IFMGA logo, you can be sure you will have an internationally qualified guide with the knowledge and skills to lead parties in the world’s most challenging mountain environments. There is no-one more highly qualified to guide you, so why settle for less.’ Really! Too many reletives of deceased BMG clients only wish that their loved ones had in fact chosen less pompous guides and maybe, just maybe, they might still be alive today. Since November, 2008, 11 IFMGA guides have been killed in climbing accidents – little is know as to the fate – of their clients.

Britsh Mountaineering Council ‘Safety Campaign’ 2008 style: http://www.thebmc.co.uk/Pages.aspx?page=191 shows quite clearly that whilst it is necessary for ‘cartoon characters’ to wear a ’safety helmet’ whilst climbing / abseiling, real climbers – need not.
