• Nostalgic Direction ; Club's Republishing of 1933 Work Highlights Purpose, Evolution of Guidebooks

I mention this because the irrepressible Jane Miller, who is well into her senior years, is such a perfect example of what it means to be an "ageless explorer": curious, involved and eager to seek new challenges. Jane was born in the Yukon to a Canadian mother and English father, but was brought up in Boulder, Colo., where her father was president of Colorado University. She says that she and her brother climbed every mountain and forded every stream and enjoyed an almost idyllic childhood. Among the many "firsts" she accomplished in her life, Jane was the first Girl Guide for the University of Colorado mountain club.

Outside the cocoon of warmth of his mountaineering tent, hypothermia can strike in minutes. We call it a "tent day,"? said Hunter, a Colorado Springs hiker and mountaineer who teaches winter recreation courses for the Colorado Mountain Club. "You make sure you bring a book or a deck of cards.
