there are plenty of us. I have friends here who have done lots of things in Patagonia,....
The problem is that the rock climbing is sooo good, the objective had better be pretty damn good to get us away from the rock routes.
For me, I am figuring when I start to loose strength and can't do the harder things on my list which require the strength. Given I am 45 almost 46 there is only a short window of opportunity for me to finish the routes that are cracks that are harder then 5.13a before I loose that strength do to age. At that time I'll concenetrate again on the longer alpine w=routes which I have failed at when I was younger in Peru, Nepal, go back to the Alps again.......
