.........like standing up or tying your shoe laces.

I've never climbed past 14K plus a few. That was tough enough.

That's a great shot. Every year that altitude is getting less likely for me.

17.5k OOCH and I was dying at 7.4k on the AZ Fall Hang!

Definitely not the man I use to be!

Thankyou.

It's a great hobby and meshes well with backpacking, except for having to hire a house sitter, of course...

If there's anything I can do for you or questions I can answer, just give me a shout. You can click on the photo in my post to go to more photos of my trees if you want....

I have about 40 total, and you guessed my plan for my next avatar! Just need to sew the tiny hammock....

Islander sent this to me so I stuck it into my older avatar.... I laughed so hard when he sent it!! Very cool of him to do so.

My current avatar shot was self-taken while canoeing at Trap Pond in DE. Interesting spot - probably the northernmost stand of mature Bald Cyprus trees to be found.
