Father, husband, cancer patient – all of these identities describe two men with a dream to climb the Grand Teton despite their diagnoses. A 97-year-old puts my work ethic to shame as he runs the road race up Mount Washington. Two partners grapple with mountain biking, running a restaurant, and being a lesbian couple in …
