Happiest of birthdays, Jim!
You're a fine example of why 75 is now the New 55.

Too bad I can't be around to share that wine in a box he likes so much.
Cheers Jim!

Happy b-day and maximum respect. I feel like a snot-nosed little brat by comparison, and climb like on too.
Take care, Jim, and have a fine 76th year.

Thanks everyone! I guess I always thought I would get to 75, I just thought it would take longer. I’m finally going to stop calling myself middle aged although I leave for the Karakoram in a week with a 6,000 meter peak beckoning.

Oh MY! indeed.
I want to post for Jim's 85th and 95th. And not just for the selfish reason that such an eventuality would necessarily be contingent upon my own survival. Also because I expect Jim to continue an unparalleled ride and I want to know about it!

Sending you the very best wishes on your birthday! I can’t say that I hope I’m in as good shape as you are today when I turn 75, because I wasn’t even in that shape when I was 25!

Hi Jim, I think you are middle aged. Otherwise I'll have to transition from young to middle-age sooner than I want to. Also, I would hang on to middle-age until the final slide and keep that last phase short. Happy B-day.

Many Happy Returns Jim.
I’ve passed on your sage advice regarding “older climbers” from a thread way back to many people, “Never pass a bathroom without using it.”

Happy Birthday Jim and how about a photo of you in your birthday suit?
I lost track of the one that used to be on the ST.
Oh wait, I found it
And that Usain imitation, not just a rumor, eh? Those guys don't look all that Jamaican though.
I knew you were a bit of a closeted Music Man, man.
