I'll be 71 in a few months, and though I'm not pulling as hard as I used to I still manage (Gunks) trad 10's and sport 11's.

Two secrets:
1. Rule #1 - Don't F*#k Up & Die https://youtu.be/LTyvHWWc9TM

2. Rule #2- Just don't stop!

That's me on the left two weeks ago 5/4/19 on top of Pontatoc (Formless Void, 5.9, 10pitches, 1,000ft)


Keep on truckin'!

Another question answered, another connection made, thanks to Gnome Ofthe Diabase. Usually goes the other way.

Peter Darmi,

The photo of you in the yellow Asolos was taken by one of the FA team of Welcome to the Gunks.

Bump ... from my 77th year ... RA and pain in the right elbow really slows upper body strength workouts ... limited to couple times a week in the climbing gym ... peers don't climb and climbing buds don't like outdoors ... maybe at Face Lift this year with the grands ...
