There still remains a population of closeted students at the College, who feel compelled to veil their sexual identities despite living in one of the country’s most liberal zip codes. This existence of this silent population belies the tolerance of the openly gay community, leading many to suggest that...

...very different in many ways. The problems of snow and ice were similar, but on a big mountain like Everest, there were more immediate dangers - the possibility of avalanche or falling off the mountain or going down a crevasse. In the Antarctic the temperatures on the whole were colder, the distances were vast and it was a much longer sort of business really. So in our trip to the South Pole, we were under constant tension, for long, long periods. For hours we'd be under great tension. Whereas on a big mountain it would be for short periods...
