Myself, when I was still closer to 40 than 50

Rumor has it that I'm an up-n-coming old fart guy. I know this thanks to my wife, Suzy, who seems to enjoy reminding me that I'm closer to 60 65 70 than 50 55 60. So, I dedicate this site to all the old climbers showing us that besides gray hair, wrinkles, deteriorating joints, brittle tendons, and memory lose - age means nothing!

This site allows me to bring our main interests - climbing, photography, and travel - together in a documented form that can readily be shared. With limited time, and money, our focus is on the western U.S. / Rocky Mountain region: mainly Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

Beta, tips and other links can be found on this site, but it's not specifically designed to provide such info, so it is, and will remain, inadequate and incomplete in this regard. Seek qualified instruction prior to your initial venture onto the rock, and consult guide books for beta. While some of our photos show climbers without helmets, this practice is unsafe; should your head ever directly challenge the rock, it will lose.

I've tried to keep this site as browser unspecific as possible; however, there are features implemented that may not be supported by all browsers, or versions. I use the latest and greatest version of Firefox, but there may be issues seen on other browsers I’m not yet aware of. While I occasionally check this site on other browsers, if you do happen to notice anything strange occurring that doesn’t seem right, please send me a heads-up note.

This is simply an entertaining site that reflects climbing and mountaineering as we live it. You're welcome to email me with any comments or suggestions at .

Note: apparently, eventually, age does mean something. As of 2022, I am suffering from multipule lifestyle altering issues, which sucks, but I haven't given up. However, it's unlikely I'll be posting any new adventures on this site any more, and I may be shutting it down in the next year or two. Good news though, for anyone who cares, I've taken steps to ensure that the site will remain available forever, hopefully, on the Wayback Machine. You can either go to the Wayback Machine home page and search "climbingolder" or use the current direct link, https://web.archive.org/web/20211128113737/http://climbingolder.net/. Thank you - climb on.

Jan 20, 2011 Over the last couple years, I have gotten lazy and have only been verifying changes to this website on Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). However, I switched to a MAC back in December and was caught be surprise at how bad this site looked on other Internet browsers. So, for the last month, I have been busy looking around for JavaScript code replacements, and editing all the pages to clean it up. The site seems to be displaying everthing as it should now on IE, Firefox, and Opera. The homepage slideshow does not work on Safari, but once you get passed the homepage, I think it's all good. The biggest change is to the expanding menu system. The basic structure is the same, but it's all new code. The drop-down menu data has been moved to include-files (src="whatever") for easier maintenance, which I should have done a long time ago. Also, the thumbnail expansion code has been upgraded to the newest version, so issues with that have been resolved. Lastly, I have run all the pages through the "W3C Markup Validation Service" to confirm it's all 100% HTML 4.01 compliant. Except for the slideshow problem with Safari, I know of no other problems, so if you notice anything please let me know.
