The manners of mountaineers are commonly savage, but they are rather produced by their situation than derived from their ancestors.” 

 

Samuel Johnson, eighteenth-century English arbiter of style and taste

 

 

 

“Slug mode is when you lay in the tent with nothin’ to do, maybe not even a book to read, maybe not even nothin’ to eat.  I can do it pretty well.” 

 

Kitty Calhoun, notable female climber
