Did nobody see the article 46er in peak condition at 82 ? An inspiring story for us yougsters (a term I rarely apply to myself).

Wow!

Thanks for the link. I missed that one.

I hope I'm still climbing mountains when I'm his age.

Great article! Thanks Mohamed...

This was my favorite part of the piece:

"He'd always been athletic, even competing in international badminton at a younger age, so there was some foundation for his renewed interest in conditioning."

Congratulations to Al.

Awesome! I love to read stories like this. Gives us all inspiration.

I hope that I'm still hiking and able to climb Mt. Washington when I'm 100! This story helps me believe that this is an achievable goal.

Who wants to join me???
