How old / average age

[Nick B]

I am 51 in April and climb most weeks, I just find I need more sleep and rest on the weekend.

I'm 41 and climb nearly all day, 6 days a week but I work with a guy sometimes that's 58. He had a heart attack a couple of years back and he is still very good

I'm 26 but even when I'm double that my mental age will remain 17. That's what counts.

47 and slow but love it

I'm 32 been climbing since I was 17. Been work hard play hard. Had 1 major fall from 45ft about 10yrs ago.

Climb 5-6 days a week. I feel it in the mornings lower back and knees at mo. Think I need to get on the cod liver oil.

Love my job hoping to cut down my climbing days and do some quoting over the next 10yrs and then branch into the consultancy side of things.

drinking low units of alcohol! Pecker come Friday I drink my weekly allowance I'm sure it slows me down but if I wasn't drunk I would be out splitting wood or something depleting my energy for Monday!

(Answering Joe Newton)

You seem like a straight guy Joe but only a twenty something year old would say that!

I'm 50 something and can tell you that in reality the climbing side of things is manageable, it's the rest of it, ringing up, shifting logs, even raking up in the afternoon which will finish you, if you can stay clear of serious injury/wear and tear, sure one can climb quite late into life, but, don't lift heavy stuff, leave it to the twenty six year olds!

Glocosimine is good! And tuna, tuna tuna! U tear the muscle u have to repair the muscle!

[Mark Bolam]

Mountain Man, I agree with that.

 

I know what Joe is saying as well.

 

I've met him.

 

I thought he was in his sixties.

42 and climb most weeks. aches and pains as everyone else.

go for it, its only a number.

to be honest, sometimes I think it can be harder on the ground. i.e big take down with crap access, logs on shoulder, down steps, round corner, then throw on truck, and again, and again....

good luck
