      There’s an age that I would have done it.

      In my 20s I jumped out of airplanes, bunjee jumped from a hot air balloon, and ran with the bulls in Pamplona.

      But these days the most dangerous thing I do is Aqua’s sister.

      I think your irresponsible exposure to the worst STDs known to mankind is far more dangerous than jumping out of airplanes or bunjee jumping.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  They made a whole movie about Honold’s free climb of El Capitan. It’s called Free Solo.

                  Education is extremely important.

                      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)

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