Thalassemia & Climbing

A(nother) recent NYT article on thalassemia...
one way of interpreting this article as it relates to me is that I'd be better off abandoning the pursuit of all things alpine, go to Thailand & be a sport climber. Or go back to malaria (a disease that's more easily addressed via social justice & economics than schmancy biotech) research.

Sigh....

if this guy can take on the 7 summits w/ß-thal minor...

I don't really think I want to do those 7 summits.
Cooler objectives can be found in the 50 Favorites.
Bigger dreams would include the 7 real summits.
