This is an excellent reply - thanks for sharing it! I think my favourite Yvon Chouinard/Tom Frost story is from the dawn of the Hexentrics path of innovation.

This is an excellent reply - thanks for sharing it! I think my favourite Yvon Chouinard/Tom Frost story is from the dawn of the Hexentrics path of innovation. They came to realize that pitons, which was their cash cow, was damaging rock. So they innovated against themselves and changed climbing! That's the hacker of my dreams - they're so driven by moving their passion forward that they'll innovate against themselves. :)
