54, and your elbows just now started hurting?
You don't, just by chance, have a big red S on your chest, do you?
My joints have hurt since I was a teenager, you must be one super-stud kinda guy. Pretty kick-ass performance on the Nose, congrats to you and your partner.
Seems like a top notch performance even without considering your age. I imagine most teams in their prime would be happy with that kind of time. I know I would!
Congrats again, and thanks for posting up! A very enjoyable read!

Right On, Mark! That is the spirit talking!
My father taught me to live on the same basis and I am right there with you.
I kept a journal when I soloed The Turning Point back in 1984. Very high on the adventure, I wrote the following, at twenty six: It makes me smile to think of myself as an old man with a gleam in my eye from having risked it all so often and gotten away.
Regret from not grabbing life by the horns is the worst fate of all.

Nature, that's quite a list as well of stuff I've never heard of. I quit the MSM because someone told me it was problematic.

I'd be interested in hearing about how it might be problematic.

You probably deserve to be beat after what you did.
I hope you get to feeling better, in any event.
Thanks again for a great thread about your trip!

Mark, your description of how you feel is exactly the way I have felt after every ascent of El Cap, no matter my age at the time! I typically feel insanely great the day after the descent; and then physically ill for at least two weeks thereafter! I soloed Lurking Fear three years ago (I'm 52 now) and made the mistake of going to Indian Creek for the first time a week later. Let's just say that did not go so well...for more than one reason...heh!
I think your trip sounds freaking incredible! I'm way envious. As others have pointed out, what you did is quite impressive for anyone at any age. I'd love to do the NIAD, I just don't think I can climb that fast! I'd have to follow somebody like you. I saw you give a really cool slide show back when I was in College in Seattle, great to hear that you are still shredding!
