I like the idea of this thread, and the original post was great.
I wanted to get to Quincy quarries this Fall for the 50th anniversary of my first roped climb, Friction Face.
It didn't work out but I may get to the Gunks this Spring for year 50 of my first multi-pitch.
When I get back to my photo trove I plan to post a few then-and-now pairings over shorter spans.

That says a lot, Dave. Just don't ask what.
Thanks, Rich. Long time climbing partner R. Nugent is in Ottawa for the year, with his van. All I need to do is fly there. Robert has already made a trip to the Gunks and is keen to return in the Spring.
edit:
Rusty Trifle here I come.

I had to do a little searching, but I have a timeline!
Stein, Chris, & Fritz at the parking lot for Boulder Peak Idaho, June 1970. Our first 11,000 ft. peak.
Chris In front, Fritz & Stein behind. on Gokyo Ri, 17,500', with Everest & Lhotse in the background in 2005.
City of Rocks climbing break, June 2016, with Chris & Fritz.
& Stein, Chris, & Heidi under the same shady rock.
We climbed together again this summer. 47 years of climbing friendship well spent.

I don't have any recent photos of Greg (frostback) or Peter, but here is a then-and-now pairing for Tami...
Then... Saving her country from the French menace in 1979 or so...
And now
Likewise, I haven't seen Peter for decades, but here he is as he once was...

This should explain, well, everything. We are after all, if anything, creatures of habit.

Damn, Mooch, that is a stellar linkup.
You made one handsome Marine and the high school sweethearts duo is full-on storybook.
Keep that tradition going Nut.
It will be fun to see the progression over another 10 years, if you can keep them in the back seat that long, which is doubtful but still possible, if only for the photo op!
Forget deleting, Gnome, just give us more captions and names!
