I’m 76 and still enjoy bush walking with plenty of hills , I consider my self of reasonable fitness. But watching Alan I was most impressed very impressed with his determination d his work on the exposed sections. He is very inspiring.

Absolute delight to watch this video. The hiking world needs a few more Alan’s 🥰 I think Allan could tell us a few stories! An inspiration to us all. Great filming, you captured the beauty of Mt Barney. Can never tire of watching this panorama.

Fantastic story Mike 👍🏻 I’ve had the honour to have climbed Logan’s with Alby a couple of times. You truly captured the spirit and quiet respect he has for Mount Barney.

I did this route for the 2nd time on the weekend, and my first solo. 7 hours up as I was just taking real easy. At the 11:20 mark of this video, there’s a problem where I got stuck on both ascents and I’m so glad Alan has shown me a better approach for my feet placement. Kudos👌

When he turns 90 you gotta make a new video of him climbing it, probably without the backpack tho, carry his supplies for him.

Hi James…I’m not aware of any names for features on the ridge apart from ones used by individuals who climb it regularly…they all seem to be different! 😀
