    Good luck on your retirement, but I can tell you from experience if you have been doing it that long your retirement will not last. I retired twice to a different field in the last 20 years and came back to the biz again. To much fun to get away from it.
    We the willing, led by the unknowing are doing the impossible for the ungrateful, and have done so much for so long with nothing, we can now do anything with nothing.

    Hi Larry, as Derek and OC mentioned you are to young to be retiring. Once it's in your blood you won't be able to put down a saw, however, an itchy foot is great diversion. Take your gear with you and you can pay for the trip along the way.
    Anyway, have a good adventure and we'll see you in a few months when you get tired of the trail.
    John


    The Wanderlust will claim me at the finish for its own.
    I'll turn my back on men and face the Pole.
    Beyond the Arctic outposts I will venture all alone;
    Some Never-never Land will be my goal.
    Thank God! there's none will miss me, for I've been a bird of flight;
    And in my moccasins I'll take my call;
    For the Wanderlust has ruled me,
    And the Wanderlust has schooled me,
    And I'm ready for the darkest trail of all.

    Grim land, dim land, oh, how the vastness calls!
    Far land, star land, oh, how the stillness falls!
    For you never can tell if it's heaven or hell,
    And I'm taking the trail on trust;
    But I haven't a doubt
    That my soul will leap out
    On its Wan-der-lust.
    Which Way To The Beech?

    Speaking of retirement.. Do you contract climbers have a retirement plan? Most climbers that I know around here live paycheck to paycheck. They don't even make a plan to get through the winter. What about disability insurance? Do any of you carry it?
