well I started at 30...50 next year and still climbing 5 days a week. I think it depends on what you've been doing before you start (ex-non-REMF military blokes can start well into their 30's - most are fitter than your average 20 year old). I want to start winding it down from next year and getting the second climber up and having a bit...he's learning fast...and is 32 and fresh out of the Army

I would say my fitness level is ok I cut lots of firewood every weekend and I have also been spotted running to the pub (only if its raining) ha ha

Started at 15 .. on n off trying diffrent careers .. Now im 26 and still going strong. Hopefully (Body Willing), I'll still be doing this into my 50'z and be classed as an Arborist Veteran like you guys .. 40'z, 50'z .. Keep it up you lot.!!!

I'm 46 and climb everyday. The trick is to think about the job first, plan your route and work as ergonomically as possible.
