Who has the slowest time? I think I would prefer to hike with them anyway!

Sorry! It was just an opinion regarding the value of Squaw Peak and Camelback Mountain in conditioning for "epics", not an insult, from me, to anyone on the site!

This right here is the best example why this site can only function as a community if all the members are willing to be upfront and honest (and by that I mean socially interact with other members outside an internet forum). I have to say that squawbacks attacks at pfredricks really made me want to side with pete. I've met pete, I know what he's capable of and I know that he respects the community enough to get out and actually hike with people. Pete has actually shown that he's a serious hiker. All squabak and sidhayes have done is tell us what great hikers they are. I don't mean that as a personal attack. I only mean it in the sense that I find it easier to accept what pete says over the other two because I have met him. I know he's real, and I know what he says is for real. I'm not saying that you need to hike with everyone, or go to all the group events (to be honest, I don't have any desire to hike with either one of you, frankly I couldn't keep up and I really wouldn't want to, most of the fun of going out is getting to see the country, I don't think I'd see much at those speeds) but you could make a personal appearance once in a while, it would keep discussions like these from popping up...

I have never said I was a "great" hiker, and only celebrities make "personal appearances"! The point is, still, whether or not , the two mountains are worth doing as a conditioning hike for epics. But, well, ...... it sounds like I will have to come out on a epic hike with you guys and gals to show if I am a "serious hiker!"

Is how someone likes to train really worth arguing about?

Squawback and Sidhayes -
This community is a group of non pretentious individuals who happen to love hiking. There are hikers of all different abilities from those who hike Cback and Squaw peak in under 20 min without breathing hard to those who are new to the sport and tire after the easiest hikes. These hikers and members range in ages from the 20's to the 60's. There are all different abilities and experience levels. The one common factor is that all love to hike. None of our members care who can outhike who. That's not what we are all about. That's not to say that many of us don't have personal goals; which may be to get to the sub 20 min mark on Cback or to hike Ridgeline in the Supes. But the goals are PERSONAL and our reasons for reporting on our hikes is not to "blow our own horn" or to draw attention to our feats, rather we report on our hikes to share the adventures with the others (some good, some bad).
The undertone of your posts are all about you and your achievements. That's not what this community is about.

If you are so enamored with your times and heroic achievements, post your first place ribbons on your bulletin board next to your bed where you can see them first thing in the morning and can feel good about yourself all day.
