I'm 37 and have been climbing for 7 years. I still feel I haven't reached my peak yet. I am curious for those in my age bracket if they feel their best days are ahead, behind, or right now.

39 yrs old, climbing 7 years. I've pretty much only bouldered the last few years and managed to jump several grades just this year (V8/9). I'm pretty confident that I'll be climbing harder than that next season. I'd say my best days - at least in terms of difficulty - look to be ahead.

Ben Moon has always been climbing at his limit, and just recently climbed the sit start to his hardest problem, making it a V14 (Voyager). So he just climbed his first V14, after pushing his limits his whole life, at age 40! Best years are yet to come.

But injuries also tend to be more common as we get older. Biceps tear last night at the gym. I am not pleased.

Ouch, hope it gets better soon!
Me to. Sounds nasty. Which arm? Not your right one, is it? eeep!

Thanks. Moderate (grade II) strain of the right biceps (and, yep, I'm right handed). Basically, I have a partial tear in the belly of the muscle. A few more weeks and then maybe back to some easy climbing.
