Could be. But those guys had to be "Pretty Far Gone" to have come up w/some of this stuff in the 1st place..Howard Armstrong's "Thing" was climbing Poles of any/allsorts...The taller & more dangerous, the better...About the only one of the early pioneers that apparently had NO eccentricities was Philo T.
