Oldest Climber??

[D A Tree Surgeons]

38 but feel like 65.

 

 

As Jamie and Gary hinted at, my dad will be 71 in May this year and still climbs 5 days a week. I think i'll be quitting climbing before he does.

 

Thats amazing hats off :thumbup:

Just wondering like, I'm 48,been climbing 20 yrs + and still climbing most days although No1 son does all the big stuff these days. Who here older and still at it, tree climbing that is?

last time i saw you climb you needed help putting your spikes on

You've got it too easy nowadays:001_smile:

 

Oh for the days of three knots and three strand. The Prussic loop and an eye in the end of your rope was a major innovation at the time.

 

Thats what Willy still uses, no ironmongery on his harness Checked the boot of his car today for his kit but its at his home but will take a snap of it when its here.

 

I have a Willy Mathews working for me , he is 72 and still climbs. Only on the odd occasions now but still does it. The bloke is a legend.
