With age comes experience and knowledge plus plenty of other things:thumbup:

 

Incontinence, mystery aches and pains, memory loss, bowel inconsistencies, deafness, eyesight weakening, memory loss Apart from that it's all good, oh! nearly forgot memory loss

That's a neat trick , quoting what's not been written yet / Any idea on the lotto numbers whilst you are at it ?

Hi All,

 

I'm looking at a career change following an end of long term contract. I've been looking into arb work & appreciate I gotta start from the bottom etc.

 

However, even tho I'm fit, am I past it at 50, or will a determined attitude prevail? I know I'm no 20 something, but I'd prefer to be doing something active - especially after teaching climbing for the past 10 years.

 

Because of a pay off, I can self fund for tickets & PPE etc.

 

Cheers, npg

 

Before you decide its worth bearing in mind that the audience you are asking consists of people that are in the trade (the made its) and the wannabe's.

 

You should weight the almost overwhelming "go for it" with the fact that this audience is unlikely to contain anyone who tried and failed.

I'm 47, I've been climbing for over 20 years. I find climbing far easier than grounding.

 

But I'm not sure how easy I would find learning to climb at my age.

 

 

 

Similar here Huck although I'm 46 ... now on a zigzag feeling fit .

 

I have tried contract climbers ...... to help out but they always seem to break things ?

 

Age is but a number ..... Im still 22yrs old in my head lol ..

 

 

Age will be relevant if you let it ? Older boys have more common sense and are better workers imo : )

I think using SRT, at least for access, has moved the goalposts a bit in terms of longevity.

I'm not interested in hearing the 'I'm 59 and still climb on a Prussik and can run rings round all the young 'uns' brigade.

Anyone who works in the commercial world knows this is bollocks, although all the best climbers I've worked with have been over 30.

Be realistic, and climbing till your pretty old is definitely possible.

Just use modern techniques, they help. A lot.

I was 20 years in Manufacturing, 13 years in Sales and now fixing saws for you lot and completely unrelated to my previous employment.

 

It helps having a positive outlook, being realistic and doing something you get a kick out of doing as it will rub off on anyone you meet or talk to.

 

If your plan is financially viable, you are physically able and the figures stack up, go for it.
