MOUNTAINEERING A SPACE FOR HOMOSEXUAL PROTEST?
When I was active in the climbing scene there was one thing that really caught my imagination. It was that so very many of the best climbers and mountaineers were homosexual.
Of course it would be obvious that homosexuals would climb just as any other would climb.
But so many of the very best and world famous mountaineers were homosexual.
I have yet to make good sense of this fact.
Was mountaineering a space for homosexual protest vis-a-vis the dominent culture of male and female chains?
