RE: John Fantini's Birthday.
Yes, the photos were taken in the Skaha parking lot. John did receive several bananas as gifts. They did not appear in the photos because a couple of climbers visiting from QLD insisted in inspecting them first to check that their curvature fit specifications (see attached photo).
John slugged a few brews back, not XXXX Gold but Rutting Elk Red - brewed by the Grizzly Paw Brewery, Canmore, Alberta. The following week John won his age group (70 - 99) in the Penticton Granfondo by 5 minutes. He truly is an inspiration to all who know and climb with him at The Bluffs. |
