[pct-l] The Illustrious Reinhold

[Reinhold Metzger]

Linsey,
I admire you also.....please, please, please,....don't knock me of your 
high pedestal.
I am a famous European also.
The other Reinhold Messner may have climbed more mountains, but I have 
hiked the John Muire Trail far more often than he has and climbed Mt. 
Whitney far more often, at least 16 times and plan on climbing it 3 more 
times this year.

Besides, I have been told that I am far better looking than the other 
Reinhold.
Just ask JoAnn, she will vouch for me.
And yes Linsey, my legs, although not as long as yours, are muscular and 
hairy.....I hope you like them that way.

JMT Reinhold
Your secret admirer

While I stand by the sentiment of my original post (albeit with Reinhold 
Metzger on a slightly shorter pedestal), I'm chagrined to admit that my 
addled brain wrongly concluded that the famous European climber Reinhold 
Messner somehow turned distance hiker. Please note corrected post... 
Dear Reinhold Metzger, In my book you are Hiking Royalty and are 
afforded much more leeway than mere mortals. Frankly I'm starstruck that 
you post on this forum. Sincerely, Linsey Budden, SOBO hopeful (42, long 
hair, long legs, still hot)
