Elderly?! Elderly?! Speak only for yourself man! I am 55 and been climbing for 35 years.
I am still climbing hard (5.12c) and boulder with anyone so long as I don't have to dyno too much. I may admit to being 'older' but I feel I am far away from being 'elderly'. Maybe in 20 years!
I climb 4 days a week either inside or out depending on the length of day. I also usually do a dumbbell workout once a week to keep my chest muscles and the muscles on the fronts of my shoulders strong. About twice a year I need to take a break for a week or two to let something rest, the remaining weeks are full bore. I don't plan on slowing down until they plant me either.

Nice!!!
Sounds alot like my routine and I stay pretty healthy but I cut out the weights during the prime boldering season twice a year, I seem to have more power.
I'm having a great time with my climbing and the only problem is too many partners with differing schedules.
I could climb everyday with a different person but I need my rest dammit!!!!
I'l be fifty sometime this year.
