Re: Very great...

Alberto, you can use it how you want, and I have so many images of Michael - really dear friend to me. Jim Donini is planning to ascent the Nose on El Cap this summer - he will be 70!!! I am fortunate that so many great climbers live in my vicinity.

Re: Very great...

It's very encouraging to see all these veterans still motivated and climbing but this takes the cake. I have been lucky enough to climb with him when he was a babe of 71 almost 20 years ago.

Re: Very great...

Thanks, I have seen it. Amazing, most of us will not live that long, and if alive not moving. Very uplifting.
