"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."

Route Climbed: Northeast Ridge/Baker Creek Date Climbed: September 19th/05A nice little climb with some excellent views of the Smokys. I found, near Baker Creek, small mushrooms that spit at you if you poked them, it was a little strange.
