The really cool part:
Dierdre Wolownick, Alex Honnold's mother, started climbing at age 60 and is the oldest woman to climb El Capitan (first at the age of 66 and then, breaking her own record, again at age 70)
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Following Horace's tip led me to a career biog of Reinhold Messner, billed as "the greatest mountaineer on earth". Amazing reading.
