Zoran Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Chris Bonington et Mick Fowler de passage a Chamonix font un petit tour à Cogne dans le Val d'Aoste en Italie pour faire un peu de glace. Cascade de Lillaz, 200 mètres en 3/4 selon les passages... Sir Chris Bonington is just 76 years old ... Quote

Teh Phuzzy Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Three times my age and easily 3³ times more badass. Hope I can pull down like that at that age. Quote
Don_Serl Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 it's great to see a guy like this still 'getting at it' well into his golden years, but (at the risk of spoiling the party), his technique in the vid worried me quite frequently. there was a LOT of moving on shaky sticks, and that is never healthy. i suppose surviving to 76 while still climbing may offer proof that he's doing it 'right', but for my money, I'da been taking another swing on 50% of his placements (or better yet, using better placing tools than the Aztars...)
