Many people never have the honor of knowing how important they are to others. When Layton Kor, age 70 and seriously ill with kidney disease, agreed to a slide show at Neptune Mountaineering, in Boulder, the presentation sold out in nine minutes. The show was moved to Macky Auditorium at the University of Colorado, and filled 1,200 seats.

“One word: iconic,” said Jim Donini—recent president of the American Alpine Club, which partnered with Neptune for the October show—in his introduction. Following a wild standing ovation, a visibly overwhelmed Kor gave the audience his all.
