I haven't gotten fat, just a bit older, a bit more susceptible to my genetic
defects and past injuries. I'm still doing it! (and my palms aren't hairy
and I'm not blind)

Believe me, looking into that space capsule size cabin, smelling the rich
food, fiberglass, power boaters, PWC's etc makes me realize spending a night
on a rat infested ledge, below freezing, with no sleeping bag is much more
appealing. Fritz Weissner climb into his 80's. Messner is still almost
superhuman. Throw away your crutches and head off into the wilderness! Amen!
