I put 30's, but really it was late 30's for me.

Thank you Steve!

If you’re working for yourself you can carry on into your 60s

Started at 18 and now 40 and looking forward to getting to 55 and still climbing. 

 

I work for myself so can choose the work load and how jobs are done so I don't spead the weekend recovering. 

 

I dont think I would want to work at this age for a company as a climber full time as to much is expected of you.

Some good replies already.

I still enjoy climbing, but that’s because I get to pick and choose.

 

BIG difference between that and climbing full time for someone else.

The most important thing is to carry on buying 32” waist chainsaw trousers, no matter how massive your belly gets.

 

A visit to any of the shows will back this up.
