Seems like a reasonable poll spread by demographic.

Anyway 32.

I've lost track of time but I've been climbing for >6 but <10 years.

So do climbers stop climbing when they get older? Maybe the mature climbers just do not use the internet. I figured it would be more balanced. interesting.

Serious response this time:

"Old enough" Smile

Edit'd to add: A 60 yr old from the mountain bike group I biked, and another 60 yr old I climbed with from the Mountaineering club I was with; both 2 yrs ago, and not over here; were both way ahead of alot of climbers and mountain bikers, seriously, the biker held the distance and the speed, and the climber was pretty amazing too, very! strong and fit.

I agree - Hats off to the 60+ yr olds.

Now no one can ever use the excuse, "I am too old for that"
Because now we all now know that is complete and utter b*ll.... don't we.

Just hit 65 three days ago, and have a Medicaid card to prove it. Ha! Your taxes now pay my healthcare costs. (I wish.) Jim Donini recently observed that 65 is the new 63, so with any luck I'll be dipping into young folks pockets for a while.

Senior discounts here I come.

50 years of climbing as of last July, and still at.

I'm a 60-year-old grandma and I've been climbing for 7 years. I started climbing because I wanted to stand on top of Devil's Tower, and I lived my dream on 6-06-06, thanks to Frank Sanders and Chossmonkey!

61/16 One of my climbing partners is 62 and another is 72. I was old and out of shape when I started but I still have fun.
