Who is the oldest working climber on Arbtalk?
At 48 I must be one of the oldest but since changing over to a VT last August I've had a new lease of life where climbing is concerned and reckon I will go on for at least another ten years.
How long do you blokes reckon you'll be climbing for and who is the oldest working climber on Arbtalk? |

Re: Who is the oldest working climber on Arbtalk?
I know a few older climbers round here, think DannyT will tell you. Bill (I Think) is in his 50's and still going strong.

Re: Who is the oldest working climber on Arbtalk?
I think that Masterblaster is around his 50's, think ive seen something where he said hed been climbing for 30+ years so that figure would make a bit of sense. Im 17, one of the youngest I guess!

Re: Who is the oldest working climber on Arbtalk?
I worked with a chap on a council contract who retired last week at 61. He is one of the fastest blokes ive worked with. He's moving down to devon and doing a few days freelance a week. He puts it down to cod liver oil, eating healthy and stretching after work.
