I think he has personal issues with the free climbing now that he is getting older and you will start to see him in the big mountains.

I don't mean to offend anyone by saying this, but the odds of eventually making a mistake or having something else happen are fairly high.

"Start to"? He's already done the Fitz Traverse twice. He was hitting alpine pretty hard last year.

I wish I could remember the name of the British climbers who used to live in Colorado and was making a big name for himself soloing 5.12 routes. Unfortunately, he met his maker on "DNB" 5.9 route on Middle Cathedral Rock in Yosemite.
