I like how he runs the rope out, then calmly threads a hole, then later slings a horn.........So cool.
I wanna be that cool, leadin' grandpa one day, out on the sharp end.

It's interesting how he is tied into the rope. Chest harness?

He totally almost pitched but shock loaded a handjam! I thought only Dean Potter pulled that kinda stuff off.
Too cool.
Something tells me he didn't start out in a rock gym.

Something tells me he still understands the old axiom 'the leader must not fall'.
As I near 58 I love seeing old guys still getting at it. I know how much effort it takes to keep climbing well and I can only hope to still be doing it in another 20 years.
