I know he still climbs now but the last time I remember reading about high profile ascents from him was a trip to the US a few years ago when he did Mandala etc. Did he step away from 'pro' climbing due to the birth of his daughter? Lack of motivation? Putting more time in to his business? Getting weak? Getting old?
