Talk:Mount Siple

It has "probably been climbed"
Yeah, right. It has an "obscure location", "fewer visits", and it's in bloody Antarctica. So what sort of bullshit is this?

I have also "probably climbed" onto the roof of my house, except that I never have.

 * If the roof of your house was also one of the most prominent unclimbed points on earth, then it would be different matter altogether, would it not? The problem is in the proving of a negative. If there are no confirmed reports of a successful climb, then can we just say its unclimbed and leave it at that? The status of whether a peak is unclimbed or not can be difficult to confirm. The "probably climbed" phrase is used in a reliable source as your latest edit has indicated. I am unsure how we could improve on this much other than just deleting any mention of it being unclimbed or not. Or do you suggest simply removing "probably climbed", even if it is sourced?--Racerx11 (talk) 23:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
