Manny from AZ leading the 3rd Pitch. Age 54, 2 years post double coronary bypass surgery.

1 Year ago I started climbing. On my 6th day climbing I was guided up the North Chimney and it changed my life. We rappelled the North Face and I was instantly enamored with it. It became my one year goal to come back and lead it. And just shy of 1 year to the day I did exactly that. This is me on the 3rd pitch.

The first pitch.
