consistency condemns a towering peak to Owen scale ability. Imagine that a team of satellite born explorers has just discovered an unsuspected Himalayan mountain peak. Let's call it KJ and imagine that they proclaim both instantly and with total confidence that thanks to a special, most unusual property of the summit alone, there is no conceivable route leading up to it merely from looking at a single photo shot vertically downwards from 250 miles up, the team declares KJ and Unclimbed Mobile Peak. And they reached this dramatic conclusion without giving any thought to the Peaks properties as seen from a conventional mountaineering perspective, let alone getting their hands dirty and actually trying out any of the countless potential approaches leading up the steep slopes towards it. Nope, none of them will work, they cheerfully assert. No need to bother trying any of them out. You'll fail every time we're such a non event transpire. It would be remarkably different from how all previous conclusions about the scalability of mountains had been reached here to four climbers always had to attempt to many routes, indeed, to attempt them many times with many types of equipment and in diverse weather conditions and even thousands of failures in a row would not constitute an ironclad proof that the given peak was forever unskilled. Herbal. All one could conclude would be that it had so far resisted scaling. Indeed, the very idea of a proof of unskilled ability would be most alien to the activity of mountaineering.
