Donini is(are?) the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of the ST and quite possibly of the climbing world.

Undaunted by any challenge, he even pops up on the What Song Are You Listening To Right Now thread and after cogent criticism and/or praise asks

"Who are those guys?"

I'm glad to say that I've climbed with all the climbers mentioned in that interview just cited. Now, I need to get off the couch, and attempt to get in shape, once again.

If there are more folks like him around coloRADo, it might almost be worth moving there. California would still be better though.




More seriously, thanks for your service, and TFPU!

He's better every year.

The best definition of a "Living legend" I have enjoyed climbing with.
