Like it or not, there are certain things that group us all together in many different ways. Studying anthropology, I see these patterns all the time, especially in sub-groups like us climbers.

It’s like anything in life, if you have no sense of humour and take offence to every little thing, then you’re going to have one horribly dull and meaningless life. I for one thought it was a great article. Most of the best tv shows are all written overemphasising stereotypes. . . we just have to laugh at ourselves 😀

Re: #4, not true. I recently did a short climbing trip where my lunch consisted of a Outdoor Research instant meal of couscous and lentils, while the two guys I was hanging with had a huge Tupperware tub full of an endless smorgesbord: huge bags of gorp and peanut butter stuffed pretzels, a large container of cut fresh fruit of every type you can imagine, Izze natural sodas, chips and salsa and all the fixings for Dagwood style sandwiches, everything fresh. It just kept coming and coming out of that tub. There I sat sooo envious and pathetic with my little bag and spork. Of course they shared, nice guys they are. But I swore never again would I go so light in my packing that I would be eating a tasteless, Spartan meal out of an paper bag again!

But seriously – I like climbing with philosophical, opinionated, funny, smart, not “ticking time bomb” types – male or female. And also like following people who don’t weld every nut like they’ll fer sure die if they don’t. And following people who PLACE nuts – and tricams! And people who don’t insist on using super-duper double redundant systems(one redundancy is enough!) hahahah

I can’t imagine being insulted by this. But then, I have a strong sense of my own capability and don’t feel limited or put in a little box because I’m a female.

I thought it was hilarious. And especially true about the food. My husband never brings food, whereas I tend to bring an eight course meal.

Thanks
