Their are other reasons to boycott Editor Katie Ives and Alpinist Magazine besides their lack of concern for human life and mountaineering safety.
Read Brotherhood of Nerds, Alpinist 61.
This article is as bad a reflection on mountaineering as anything ever written and violates the Mountaineering Code to not do anything which reflects badly on mountaineering.
What is so disturbing about this article is Editor Katie Ives and Alpinist Magazine worked with the American Alpine Club with the purpose of women always being respected in the mountaineering environment.
Here are excerpts from this article she approved and ran:
"...misfits who just wanted to climb and party and hopefully get laid by someone on the alpine (or prudish cross-country) ski team."
"Streaking the campus... Naked rappelling down a glass wall outside of some student council meeting...."
If these quotes aren't enough to make you want to boycott Editor Katie Ives and Alpinist Magazine you have no respect for women.
I will be posting more about this article and why it is a bad reflection on mountaineering and the Climbers Code to never do anything which reflects badly on mountaineering.
My next post quoting from this article will be about drinking and drugs.
I'm just getting started.
Thank God for the American Alpine Clubs concern for how women are treated and the Me Too Movement.
I am the proud Father of a highly successful and beautiful and charming daughter who would never tolerate this kind of garbage.
Note: Editor Katie Ives refused to discuss this article with me when it ran.
