I am in my seventies and never climbed but would love to have a go. My wife looked into booking a course for me but think I am too old to start now.

Don't think I could pull myself off the ground

 

 

You'd be surprised, where are you based ? I bet there's a few members on here that would help you out by giving you a go.

Not quite in my seventies yet (50), but started climbing in '79... Seen some changes.... Lifelines, ballistics, chainbrakes, Health&Safety,chippers, blowers..the list goes on... I still climb and my Dragonfly is like sitting in an armchair, the spikes like comfy superglue boots and the saws lovely... The down side is mobile phones giving you stress and so many tree surgeons competing for work, pushing prices down and making you go faster (not so safe or enjoyable)... Still, gotta grow old sometime, and there's some good young ones coming through now.. Generally love where the industry is going and am proud to have been a woodsman all that time..
