[QUOTE="Huge, post: 2273804, member: 1992"] Fair enough to view it as a cynical swipe at Jessica but it really is'nt what I was aiming for. Rather it is an observation on the merit of the particular challenge chosen. The part that tells the story is the desire to gain attention from the effort. For me the thinking is along the lines of the city centre skateboarders (any similar derivatives included) who perform uninvited on the concrete where you'd hoped to walk safely. Look at me please type attitude. Why tell anyone. Why did the world have to know. If the doing is enough, why the invite to the world. These things attempted are for the ego, not for the worlds benefit, they're driven to gain notoriety, fame if you will. Many people do feel as though they have seen enough people putting these self imposed mountains to climb in front of themselves. Done so to marvel at their heroic efforts to overcome. Her determination and skill on the water are not in question nor can her can do attitude be denied. It's simply not enough for me to care whether her mountain is scaled. Some of her character traits may be role model material but her choice of challenge seems ultimately pointless. [/QUOTE]
