Old climbers

[Cob-logging]

Hi I am 60 years old still climbing 2-3 days a week knees bit shot inside joints from climbing on spikes 

so I was wondering if any other older climbers still out or am I the only grumpy old barstool left 👍👍

So what’s the key then chaps? Sounds like you’ve both done something right to keep going that long physically, and still be enjoying it. Very impressive!

Started when they were 58.

Climbing is easier than lifting and shifting wood by hand.

 

58 this year, still at it.

 

Don’t go anywhere on the tree twice, plan your route and be sure it’s all done before moving to the next section.

Not old as only just turned 40 but have climb now for 20 years and cant see why I would not be climbing in another 20 years. 

 

Found srt to be a big game changer and Cherry Juice.

51 yr old,  today might be my last climb.  Just to painful now after 30yrs. 

Have damaged knees and ankles over the years which haven't helped.

51 also and climb several times a week. Plan is to do another 10yrs. Joints seem to be holding up ok, but I came late to arb at 40 ish.

And here's me at 32 having done it for 11 years thinking I don't want to be doing this when I'm 45-50..... 😆
