Inflammation is the killer.

 

Manage you diet, exercise and stretch often and don't work 24/7.

 

Easier said than done though!! worked from 7.30am and was home at 9pm yesterday.

Hi mate, i fully agree with Mark Bolan. I´m 49 and 11months, climbing 26 years. I still intensive interesting about new equipment, techniques, setups and concentrated watch how climb my friends.For acces i use SRT (jumar,Kong Duck, Pantin), for work in crown prusic or LJ. I verry, but VERRY like pulley saver on big trees, help me body power to keep. Warming before acces is good way! And of course-rest, sports, good food etc....

All you young whippersnappers quit complainin' and just get up the freakin' tree .

I'm pretty sure I climbed my first tree in 1951 or 2......and first got paid for the fun in 1972......

And have no plans to quit..or slow down much..at least till the mid 21st century.

 

Of course cranes help......Pat started this tree, then I did the crane brushing out, and he broke his crane cherry by doing the wood picks.

And I cheated and got a Wraptor a coupla years ago. Wheeeee!!!
