At 49, Layton Kor is a phenomenon. Strong as an ox, quick on the trail,
and fast on rock, Kor stills bursts with an impatient restlessness. With little
difficulty I can picture him 20 years ago--truly he must have been an
unstoppable force. Backing off a climb just wasn't an option; human failure
(never his own) or failure because of the weather, those terms of defeat he
could occasionally accept.
-- "The book of KOR", by Ed Webster, 20th Anniversary issue of Climbing
