Best wishes for you and your dad.
To put his late 60s in perspective, I am 61, took my 88 year old dad's funeral picture with me to the top of Whitney. He died in March, I went with one of my sons in August. My dad had introduced me to the Sierras in 1965. His picture taken to the top was trip #21 for me, no better place to say my final goodbyes.
I hope this note is seen as both sad and celebratory. You are wise to go now. Have a great time, both of you! Harvey
