Starting out climbing when your older.

[Mark Bolam]

My view based purely on climbing, not business etc. -

 

You can either do it or you can't.

 

Doesn't matter if you are 20 or 50.

 

What is clear to me though is if you start early you will have a longer career, commercial climbing that is.

 

Some great points made throughout this thread, fellas. Well done for kicking it off Mike.

 

FTR I started climbing 7 years ago after 10 years climbing telecomms towers (I'm 41). Whilst I still do most of the climbing for my own business, I couldn't climb as a subby day in day out any more like I used to.

 

I'm sure there are guys older than me who could, though!

 

Employment wise 'old heads on young shoulders' springs to mind.

 

Good luck to all climbers out there, young, old and ancient.

 

Stay safe.
