Nice! He reminds me a bit of my friend Graham, who climbed the Matterhorn, unguided and via one of the "technical" routes, when he was 74. He gave up running ultra-marathons at about 77 years old and still runs 4-5 marathons a year at 81, plus at least a dozen half marathons. He did the Camino de Santiago de Compostela Pilgrimage last year...a 500 mile walk solo and carrying his own kit, which he completed in 21 days.
