Pug Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 85-year-old Bill Painter will be climbing Mt. Hood this weekend (5/16) as a summer season warm-up. If you see him, please wish him well. Bio note: Bill is a WWII combat veteran and a retired Hanford radiation worker. Bill set the summit age record on Rainier at 80 1/2 years old on the 4th of July 2003. He has reset the record each year since. Last season (at 84) he also climbed the Becky route of Liberty Bell Spire, amongst other less notable adventures. Bill is a former Washington State bicycle class champion and still rides 5000 miles a year with the Tri-City Bicycle Club. Quote
