Yeah, the first pic is a good one. Even I usually have my harness off before swilling but I'm only 42!

Very cool!

My hubby hopes to still be climbing at that age -- only 12 years to go! Oh, excuse me, we need to finish packing for our Joshua Tree trip. He'll do most of the leading.

Looks like he's still rocking EB's as well. I want to be this guy when I get older.

Wow kickass - I hope I can climb for 45 years or more. That will be awesome!

I like that the article points to MP.com for the Gunks info. I kinda wish they had given credit to MP.com for those links at the bottom, like they gave credit to the photos and FOTH, but I suppose if someone clicks the link they come here anyways.
