Calling some one a hero for simply climbing or doing any other activity seems pretty retarded.

True, but then again so is your post in this thread.

Chuck and Ellen Wilts.

I've been blessed to climb with their modern equivalent (there are many of them!)

Brutus of Wyde

The Legendary Nurse Ratchet

Yours truly

Good food, good climbs, lots of laughs...

Brutus and Nurse Ratchet travel the continent relentlessly, climbing, always climbing. From Alaska to well, where ever they may be at this moment it will likely involve big and remote lines, a thrist for adventure and chances are decent it will be a first ascent too.

When the shit hits the fan? You want heros like Brutus and Ratchet on your rope.

Cheers

I just read through this whole thread and am amazed that only one person named Jim Erickson and nobody named John Gill or Pete Cleveland.

what about jim bridwell? i met him in joshua tree, and he is still cranking at like 62. and he is a funny fucking guy too. and how about eric weihenmeyer, the blind guy that climbed everest, along with the other seven summits( i think he got all of them)? im not sure i would tell kids to be like the bird, but his accomplishments in climbing are indisputable.....
