His first new climb took place at the age of eighteen and his last was in his seventieth year - the Slanghoek Tower in the Witte River Mountains east of Bain's Kloof, between Wellington and Worcester. Nothing has pleased him more than this last one day operation - it is recorded at the end of this book under the title "Ultimate Swansong". During his climbing life he has reached the summit of more than three hundred named peaks. Technically the majority were easy of ascent, but many were arduous because of the height and distance that had to be covered, plus bush, rough and stony terrain, to get to them.
