Hobbies
As of now, principally photography and such travel as I can afford; when I was younger, from teen age until age 50, mountain climbing was my principal hobby, with tennis and photography (mostly scenic photography and doing my own darkroom work) vying for second place. Also carpentry and electrical work, remodeling, etc., around our house and our mountain cabin, ever since 1933 or so.
Climbing Experience Summary
Climbed 44 of the then listed 14,000-footers in Colo up to 1942; 50 or 60 of the interesting 12's and 13's, led many Colo. Mtn.

Led some CMC ski trips in 1920s and 1930s, before any kind of ski tow existed in Colorado!
