 The Crags Approach Like You've Never Seen It   
So on 9/23/2012, I had the opportunity to hike up the Crags as a way to help a dear friend's father reach the summit of Pikes Peak (his first 14er) just after turning 70. This was a lifelong dream of his, and this Vimeo is a beautiful look at the hike and the story. Take 4 minutes and check it out.

Clearing up ”unfinished business” is always sweet. Congrats. You're _never_ ”too old”! (Now, get going on some others...)

Great video Freeze, the production value is outstanding. I have to admit that I snooped and watched a few of your other videos. The Snowmass one is really good too.

This was just the video I wanted to see. Gives me a great idea about the conditions. For some reason I knew when I logged on today there would be a crags campground TR and I was right! Very Helpful!

Happy birthday to your friend as well!!

... I had been there to shake you hand, Jack. I am 69 and climbed Pikes Peak from the Devils Playground for the first time this year ... My first 14er but only the top 3 miles. Yours is a real achievement. So a big "Bravo!"
