[brookie]

evening all was after some advise am seriously considering a change of career am 35 is this to old to get into the industry

[slack ma girdle]

Nah, life begins at 40, so you still got 5 years.

Anyway if you have not been doing this type of work, you will not have the usual joint/ tendon, back problems that start after about ten years.

[Andy Collins]

No. Though I would bear in mind that if it took you say 5 years to become a good climber you would be 40, but maturity will be on your side,along with a lifetime of work experience. So you should be fine

[scottythepinetree]

What you doing now? What attracted you to this industry?

 

35 isn't too old if you have an aptitude for it, and a decent level of fitness also helps. If you don't have these things, 18 is too old.

My old boss started at 38 or 39, that was 4/5 years ago, he now has a successful business.

as long as you are fit and healthy, with a love of the outdoors (whatever the weather) you will love it!!
