One gentle man comes to mind , Fred Becky .
Still /out / at the age of ninety .
Friedrich Wolfgang Beckey, known as Fred Beckey, (born 14 January 1923) is an American rock climber, mountaineer and author, who has made hundreds of first ascents, more than any other North American climber .
"Just after the New Year, and less than 10 days before his 90th birthday - the man, the legend, Fred Beckey, attains yet another fine summit. "
"The Moosedog Tower in Indian Cove, Joshua Tree, via the 3-pitch 5.6 route "Tranquility". My buddies Erik Harz and Felix Parham roped up with Fred while I soloed alongside taking photos and providing some additional assistance."
" Getting a 90 year-old up a 300' route is no easy task! His body may have been weakened by age, but he can still move fluidly and thoughtlessly, like he's been doing it for 70+ years! Enjoy the photos! I can only hope to still be alive and walking at his age, let alone climbing. "
