Hard of hearing, Fred couldn't quite understand what the name of the tower was called - "Hedgehog? Moosecock? Moosecat? Oh, Moosedog!

LOL. Hard of hearing is an understatement...

However, we all love Fred!

That is very inspiring.

I will be 60 in a few days and seeing this makes me smile.

Good job Fred Beckey.

Amazing! I hope I have another 28 years of climbing left in me. Thanks for the inspiration, Fred, and to those who recorded and posted this.

It is hard not to be inspired by Fred!

What a history he has had!

Seeing Fred give a slideshow in New Paltz a few years ago was an experience I will never forget. Inspiring and intimidating, yet Fred himself was so gracious and humble.

Go Fred

That's because he's looked 90 for the last 30 years...

Inspiring to know that not only might we not be taking the long dirt nap at that age, but could still be getting at it. Live long and prosper Fred!

Cenozoic Era, perhaps.

Geeez . . . slow down Fred!
