I’m a little confused over what people consider bagging a
Wainwright. For example, there exists in the Himalaya a ridge of summits called
the Gasherbrum (translates to ‘Beautiful
Mountain Gasherbrum I and cross the connecting ridges between them
all, summiting each peak, have I bagged them all? Or should I climb each peak
individually. The worlds mountaineers seem to think so. Gasherbrum V and
Gasherbrum VI remain unclimbed.
So transposing this to the bagging of Wainwrights, if I
summit Green Gable and then walk across to Great Gable, how many Wainwrights
have I bagged? I’ll be honest, I’m not out to bag all the Wainwrights, it’s a
challenge I chose to ignore. I am happy to climb the interesting ones and look
for nice views and meet nice people. I’m just interested in opinions on this as
I find it intriguing. I certainly wont be judging peoples opinions. Please
comment.
