About 30# ago. Started up the Cap't.7 times got to to top on 5 of them. Did most of the bigs in my 20's/30's. loved Yoesmite would go there for a three day weekend and do a wall:tumble: missed some work cause of a stuff getting in the way of the top.
I remember a 20 hour day followed by a trip home a going to work straight off. Fun times...

What are considered some of the bigs? I know little about rock climbing. I suppose climbing Mt Denali would not qualify. I saw a climber on the face of some granite just up the valley from the Awhanee hotel. He was a yellow dot on a wall that we glimpsed through an opening of the pine trees.

You say you did all your climbing in your 20-30's. Is that because guys get heavier after that and their arm strength gets weaker? I noticed that I couldn't do pullups nearly as well when I reached my 30's.
