The following unsigned comment was added to the page itself, so I'll put it here on the talk page. -- Spireguy 20:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I also did some cleanup and additions to the rest of the article. I did leave in some language that may still be a little POV without better support, e.g. "heady exploit," but IMO it's OK. -- Spireguy 20:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I have just discovered that the original version of this article from 21:24, 27 November 2004 by L Durnan [1] was copied verbatim from a page on Gerry Roach's website: Alaska’s Summits 13,000 feet and above, see notes 10 & 11 at the bottom. So we have to delete those parts of the article, or rewrite them completely and reference a source properly. This text is in paragraphs 4 & 5 of the current article, and included the "global warming" comment referred to above.
Unless someone wants to rewrite those paragraphs, I'm going to delete them completely. Then I'll write some new, much briefer replacement text about the two summits.
I guess the bold Wikipedia warning, "Do not copy text from other websites without permission. It will be deleted" may actually be true, eventually. Sometimes it just takes 2 1/2 years for someone to actually delete it. -- Seattle Skier 03:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
