Thanks. A really good read. I agree with the old man tough mentality. It's reality.

"Old man tough" is definitely a thing. I've worked for, and along side, a number of guys that would have rather been retired and were certainly old enough to be. Life and personality kept them in the work force. I've also spent time in the mountains with some older gents, there on purpose, embracing the challenge.

Resilience is the best word, both of mind and body. "Grit" maybe, but not in the Mtn Tough bro sense. Real mental toughness hardened by experience and KNOWING that they've done it before so they can do it again.

Much respect for tough old men.
