Male, 87 years old

Vancouver, Washington, United States

Power = 274 (Vote Weight = 92.78%)

Occupation: Industrial abrasives

Partner Details: I'm more a trail runner than a climber but I usually make an attempt at the peaks I find in my travels. With the info I've found on Summitpost, I'm doing a lot more climbing and enjoying every minute of it.

I have the good fortune to get paid for traveling the west coast from San Diego to Fairbanks and sometimes have the time to run/jog/hike/climb up a mountain. Life is good!
