Henry Eyring was an american scientist who won nearly every chemistry award in existence. He published over six hundred papers, wrote numerous books, and was the man who developed the Absolute Rate Theory (ART). It is no exaggeration to say that ART is the connected to everything in our physical world; everything from the way fabric rips to medicine and Henry was the man who developed it.
Despite his position, achievements, and very apparent skill, he was well know for being down to earth and completely genuine. He felt no need to be considered someone of importance and once when praised as an intellectual, Henry replied "Don't...call me an intellectual--I just do chemistry."1
In the same way I hear climbers find way to classify themselves and seek ways to identify themselves from each other. I specialize in this style or I am only an X-type of climber. I understand that, and I also understand the value behind it. However as someone who love every form of climbing and participates in it as the season, conditions and style dictate--I just do climbing.
