<br/>
basically it was some mountain climbers as i recall standing on a perceptible mountaintop <br/>
& the one with the exact apex point under his raised foot presumably being conscious of it <br/>
there<br/>
so perhaps in that sense a true class a<br/>
tho it was rightly questioned at the time<br/>
<br/>
& really who knows for sure<br/>
but it was an absolute tripoint try at least <br/>
by me if not by the mountaineer or photographer<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
apart from such rarities or novelties or oddities tho<br/>
all we are really talking about is 5 clearcut & simple degrees or qualities of success or <br/>
attainment<br/>
namely<br/>
a as in absolutely ascertaining & arriving there<br/>
b as in basically beeing or being there<br/>
c as in seeing clear & close<br/>
d as in distantly discerning &<br/>
e as in earnestly elusive to the eyeball but still excellent<br/>
<br/>
& perhaps most important <br/>
not at all necessarily in that order<br/>
since class b tries for example are typically far more interesting & challenging than class a<br/>
& theres never any need to regret or reason to apologize for anything <br/>
but especially if one is having fun</div>
