Summit Appreciation Thread
To Summit, who is a good dude.
He has given me a place to crash more times than I can count (even when my neck was broken) and even let me stay at his place to "house sit" a couple times when I just needed to get to the mountains. He introduced me the world of non-horsepiss, non-pilsner beer. He (and others, thanks guys) threw me off the biggest huck I've accomplished. He and those same others gave me the best weekend of skiing I've ever had with their ninja pit-digging rope-ducking studfinder steez. He got me into photography and even has some pretty good pictures of me skiing pow. He's a damn fine photog from what I have seen, if you haven't noticed. He acted responsible for me at the Mini when he definitely didn't have to. Not to mention the McGuyver steez...
Basically, the dude has just done a LOT of cool things, both for me and for the Maggot collective. He knows SO much about so many things that it's pretty impressive. AND he's modest about it. Great to get from you the information I've gotten about mountaineering, emergency medicine, photo, skiing in general, der poopenhausen, and everything else, Summit. :thumbsup:
Next time I crack an ice cold brew, A, I'll raise it in your honor and reflect for a few moments before enjoying what will likely be a pale ale.
Thanks for helping to fuel the fire of stoke for me through both your hospitality and your pushing me. The help won't be forgotten.
I'm posting this and not sending a PM because I know for damn sure I'm not the only one here with these sentiments. Let's hear 'em.
