I know some very young and fit 80 year olds and some very old 60 year

climb Mt Vesuvius at 87 or so, my mother 20 years younger stayed at the
bottom.

As someone who is getting older, I agree wholeheartedly with you
sentiment and doubt that I will be able to climb Mt. Vesuvius when I'm
87. However, I have "climbed" Mt. Vesuvius. To put it in perspective,
one arrives at the ticket booths by bus, taxi, etc. and walks up a wide
trail to the top. The trail is 860 meters long and rises 135 meters to a
max altitude of 1180 meters. It takes 15-20 minutes at a leisurely pace.
It's more of a stroll than a climb. But kudos to your father.
