Kings Peak 2009

Me and my family just returned from a back packing trip to Kings Peak. This is something we have wanted to do for some time but had to wait for my kids to get big enough to handle the long hard hike to the peak. I have been to the peak 3 other times but never through the Henrys Fork Basin and decided to go this route because it appears to be the shortest route to the peak. Our 4 day round trip to the peak ended up being around 23 miles. My youngest who is 9 years old was able to climb the peak but the most amazing thing was another group that we ran into at Anderson Pass that had a 72 year old man that put most of us to shame as we climb the peak together. Does anyone know of someone older than that who has climbed to the top of Kings Peak?
