How Old

[north]

Hi Guys

 

Heres a question !!

I'm 42 years, been climbing for 20 years or so, physically very fit, own my business, but whats on my mind is what age shall I pull off the climbing ?

[skyhuck]

Never!! (I'm 41)

There must be an average age but, whats the oldest commercial climber you know ?

There's a couple of threads already going on this and I believe one of the climbers was 50 odd so you've got a way to go yet. I'm 40 and even if I give up on the self employed bit I won't be giving up on the climbing. It keeps my muscles loose and I suffer less aches and pains than when I was in the office. Plus I like being outside away from people. Trees don't answer back and they are never negative. You keep going until you decide in your own mind that you've had enough.

66 actually......

 

I don't see why people think they will have to give up climbing just because of age. Apart from you Phil, you've probably got about another six months left in ya.....
