The concordance of autoimmune diseases among identical twins is virtually always less than 50%, often in the 25-40% range.

I've summitted Mt Rainier [14,400 feet] and Mt Baker [10,100 ft] both in Washington state. I would not mind attempting another climb. Yet with 2 young kids and a wife, I must be careful. Each year these mountains take lives.
