Randomly met the guy once in a backcountry lodge (I'm an avid backpacker, he was on his way to summit a mountain). Anyhow, most of the climbers I've known were more well to do. It's like ski bums vs. skiers.

I never met Fred Beckey but have been reading his Cascade Alpine Guides for a good chunk of my life. It's an amazing series. Even did a few of the routes. :)
