You may be a dieing breed. I see your point. Dont get me wrong my son doesnt get out of earshot. Most the time he is leading. He is younger, stronger,"Man that hurt" and more fit. Facts are Im getting old he is in his prime. I dont want him waiting on me all day. The saying hike your own hike is fitting. I dont like it either. I would love to have taken up climing in my younger days. We share what we share, but most important is we share the experience. He will pass it on like my Pop did for me. "God Bless Ya Pop" Miss ya every day!
