So true"For those of you who know me, I tend to look like a wild-eyed innocent, blinking around naively at the world... it does nothing to convey any kind of faith in my skills or experience, so I perpetually get dubious looks."
Perhaps it is your gentle nature or your lack of macho posturing, but I too was surprised to find your mild mannered visage belied a true alpine hardman tempered with a toughness and steely determination that matched that of anyone with whom I've climbed.
