4 years serious climbing, 11 years goofing off and only bouldering.

You'd think I could boulder better...

Only 5 years of gym climbing and 1 1/2 years of outside climbing. My age is not important...because in the climbing world...I am only 5 years old. One day I hope to be a glorious climber like Mr. Angry or JT...

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.

And here I thought some cred was earned by merely holding an AARP card...

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.

78/37. This will help balance your statistics. Just to let you know, I invented the internet (actually, I wrote my first computer program in in 1956). About a month ago, after a day of climbing at Joshua Tree, my wife and I went to the Sizzler in Yucca Valley for dinner. The sweet, young cashier asked if I needed help carrying my (empty) tray to the table. I said, "No, but I sure would appreciate some help carrying my gear to the base of the climb tomorrow." My wife thought the incident was so funny she couldn't wait to tell my climbing partner the next day.

Cheers,
Rob.calm
