HAHA...'Old Timer' quote

[Brody]

I was looking at some of the stuff on Mountain Project and seeing what people had to say about some of the routes that I put on the Land That Time Forgot face of Sheepsnose, a 700-800' face in the South Platte area. A lot of these routes I started, finished, or did from the ground up solo climbing. I seldom saw anyone else up there climbing, although someone would brave the death march every now and then...

I got a laugh out of this one:

I was lucky enough to stumble upon this place when the first of the new bolted routes were going up. This side of Helen's Dome had long been written off as being rotten and covered with lichens. It was pretty cool to climb routes and watch an old timer drill on lead, usually rope soloing. The routes are well-protected and took a lot of time and effort to create. Hopefully, people who brave the death march up the hill will enjoy these routes as much as I have.

I guess if you are your 20s, someone who is in their 50s qualifies as an 'old timer'...:lmao::lmao:

And if your in your 60's you're an "old timer" to those in there 40's. :brody:

I am the 40 year old who sure feels like an old timer at times, thanks to construction work:rolleyes: I never look at older folks as "old" only "savvy", but I grew up close to my great grandmother. According to my kids I am old though.....
might be better than being a "whipper snapper":), maybe not...
