I too am interested in this story. I first learned about it from Frank A. We chatted about it in his yellow vehicle while looking for some other thing he had on his mind. I was always perplexed by this part (and forgive me if I am confusing stories here....the sups are full of them): An old man with "severe respiratory illness" was able to hike in and around the superstitions, in and out, over and over, covering huge distances by superstition hiking standards, doing what modern day super-hikers plan, train for and have a hard time handling. This was always the stumbling block for me in pursuing this any further. That little detail reveals a lot.....at least I think it does. I understand the "they don't make 'em like they used to," but I don't think an old man w/ severe respiratory illness at any point in time compares to any modern day hiker, even if modern day hikers are weaker than olden day hikers. Man I hope that made sense......lol On another note: I'll be heading to hieroglyphics trail this weekend. I want to see this spiral-staircase for myself to see if it's a bunch of hog-wash.....
