Well I saw “Free Solo” which showed Alex Honnold’s free and solo assent on El Capitan. Gave me the willies.

I once climbed the Grand Teton. But now at seventy-eight years old, I have acrophobia, an unresonable fear of heights. I hope soon to overcome that and then I can watch things like you “attack on El Capitan” without white knuckes on the arm chair...

Mr G (also 78) climbed Grand Teton on his 54th birthday. He would give anything to do any kind of climbing again, however, after 5 years of serious back issues I’ve told him if he so much as stands on a ladder I will hurt him.
