Upon review Iam, I found that you asked me two questions: First, what my background was, the answer to which you said you were impressed. The second had to do with the Eastern Gate, which I freely admitted ignorance about and offered a few guesses based upon god google. If you were not impressed with either, it is fine with me.
I ask questions to learn. If you answered my question about paths, yes, it appeared to be more non sequitur than a direct response to my list request. Perhaps you are climbing again? ….difficult to tell.
