He is indeed a very nice guy, and should be an inspiration for anyone thinking about climbing later in life.
He just returned from a climbing trip to Sardinia with several friends of mine. Not too bad. Most people his age would be happy just to be able to make it on a cruise, much less go on a road trip to an exotic sport climbing destination.

"Like others who begin late in life, he brought an extra zest to his climbs, as though the new sport had given him a second youth."
Dorothy Pilley, in her "Climbing Days" (1935) , writing of a friend who had begun his climbing after the age of forty. 8^)
