I’ll have what ever he’s having can’t hurt.
I'd be thrilled to go down and up at 9 1
*Thanks for adding cheer to thus inspirational story.*
I plead guilty to being all over the place.
91-year-old
That gives me 25 years to train. I’ll start in 23 years.
It’s tougher on the shins than on the knees!
It got my ankles the hardest going down.
Make sure you have some carbs for the way out.
Good advice. I was 33 and in good shape from a summer of fieldwork when I hiked the Bright Angel trail down to the river and back. I took several quarts of water, but no food, and I hadn't eaten before starting. Ran out of gas about halfway back up, and had to stop to rest every few hundred yards for the last couple of miles. Good learning experience.
I used to hike a lot. But now I’m almost 71. Ain’t no way.
The court sentences you to read one Trump vs DeSantis thread and one Ukraine thread!
“If he collapses at the bottom who pays for the Med-A-Vac?”
Emergency transportation, even an air ambulance from that location, should be covered by Medicare Part B. He’s been paying premiums into it for 25 years.
Why put such a grim spin on a happy story?
The same people that pay for the helicopter that flies a golfer struck by lightning off the golf course, or the same people that pay for a helicopter to fly a drowning victim from a lake to the hospital. The taxpayers.
What is your point?
“ What’s next medical school? Who subsidized it?”
That’s a very negative and zero sum view on life.
Get out, do things.
Don’t die 20 years before you quit breathing.
Got the adventure out of my bucket list before age 69 ........ now just protecting steaks and hamburgers as a sniper killing coyotes .......
