Dru Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 1000 is "more than 100".... maybe Rich just means 100 IN IDAHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake_Gano Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Yeah, just got back from the show. A-fucking-amazing. This guy is 80 and call still climb circles around me. He made some comment about climbing a 10c in Mexico a couple weeks ago. I'm a quarter of his age and couldn't do a 10c to save my life. First rates slides of his ascents all over the continent. I hung around afterwards and got him to sign a book. Felt like when you see a mountain for the first time after seeing pictures of it forever. Really a amazing man.
