I'm 65 and so far I haven't had any serious stuff to recover from. I did jam my left ACL about a year ago at work but it healed without surgery and I was able to do the pack trip with Snubbie in Oct.

Snubbie posted this pic of me with 2 of the llamas but he failed to mention that the trail is every bit as steep as it looks. Even with no load, it'll get you puffing. A couple weeks before the season, I took 2 partially loaded llamas up it on a scouting trip and they got a workout. We ended up camping below this stretch because it was so steep that I couldn't find a decent camping spot with both feed for the llamas and enough flat space for the tent.
