Climbing Disorder?

Letter writer to the New York Times asks:

"...if people whose overeating puts them at risk for illness and early death have eating disorders, why don’t we say that people whose mountaineering puts them at risk for injury and early death have mountaineering disorders?"

So do outdoor risk seekers have a disorder? I know I have issues, maybe that's one of them.

As I said to the gals on sunday. "Of Course you are scared, that's just your common sense kicking in. Ignore it and it will go away.

I can't say "gals." I have to use "women." I guess 'cuz they're so edgy. You're lucky.
