My friend, Chuck Calef, recently led Wailing Banshees at Below the Old New Place (White Rock) without clipping any bolts on his 66th birthday. He doesn't know I'm posting this, but I thought it was pretty impressive....(you can read his description of his placements under the comments for Wailing Banshees...)

I just recently read Chuck's account of his lead. That's an impressive lead for sure, Darien. Very rewarding I'm sure.

Nice!!!!! Always psyched to hear about people pushing themselves on gear. I hope I am climbing that well at 66!

Congatulation! I admire you, Chuck. I remember this route. You acomplished what you were saying 24 years ago.
