W46>70

- Finley Peter Dunne

Just so, there are those who dissipated a misspent youth in other frivolities and took up winter mountaineering only after age had further impaired their minds. At present, the roster of recorded W46Rs numbers a few more than 500. Among them would be a subset, call it N, who started and finished a complete winter round after age 70. The size of that subset can't be known with certainty, but as of 1-22-12 it stands at N+1.

Well, in that case, hearty congratulations are in order to newest N+1! That is a substantial accomplishment.

On a personal note - am hoping to do a winter round (either in NY or NH) of their 4's when I am 70 or older. Will have to wait 6 years in order to begin that goal, however.

Well done! I'd venture to say N has only 1 digit!

I know a few that are 60+ ...

And even though MUCH younger I could not keep up with you on the MacIntyres Range this past Sunday as you reached in a gale force wind your W46>70 on Iroquois!

Congratulations Pete! I thought you had finished this last season, or was that just a winter round period and you had some over 70 gaps to fill in? Either way, as one of those 500+ knowing what it takes to get it done, you have much to be proud of, sir!

Way to go, congratulations Pete...

Congratulations! and dare I ask where the N comes from? "Never to late to start" comes to mind!

 

[Gremlin]

Congratulations.

I never realized that this was your Forum name!

Congratulations.
