"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Re: Nice ReportThanks! Yes, the crater is magnificant! I don't often climb the same mountain twice, but I have a strong inkling to go back to Mt Hood. Sadly, my climbing partner was killed a few months later while climbing in the Bugaboos. So Mt Hood has a special meaning for me as the last placed we climbed together.
