We free climbed the tree line on the right side of the rock and it involved some spelunking and chimney climbing and we went to the top took hours and we were talking to the climbers on the face for much of the time we did this twenty years ago .

@phanders20228 ай бұрын
Real guts. Rather watch this than a 5.15 with fixed bolts every two metres any day. As an old timer I'd recommend a helmet, a big leader fall could break a lot of repairable bones but smashing your skull is the real danger. But - good you again.

I’ve been pretty fit all my life so when I picked up climbing at 33 I knew I’d be fine. It’s been one year as of a week ago and I can reliably climb v4, a v5 every now and then and now I’m working on v6s. Stretching and recovery matters more in your 30’s but climbing is a pretty holistic sport where decisions on and off the wall affect your performance. My issue is I have dogshit sleep and hydration

40 year old climber here. Starter when I was 32 and just climbed my first (second and third) 13a (alongside a handful of V7s). I actually only really started training 3 years ago and since then I've been climbing the grades quite quickly. Not that grades are everything, but if you care, and you train, and you have the stoke, you can gain at least a letter grade every season (imo!!). This winter I'm aiming for a V9; next summer a 13b; and by 50 a 14a! Let's go!

That's runout bolted climbing. Why bother? Runout on gear might be required , but super runout bolted routes is poor planning or just silly.

@joshnoe238 ай бұрын
@@twinmike1the ethics in NC are centered around how the route was developed, not how it's climbed afterwards. If the FA bolted the route ground up, (typically using aid FYI), it's considerer trad and often has poorly placed bolts. Many otherwise great routes are rarely repeated and fall into obscurity because of this. I'm not saying this makes any sense, it's just how it is there.

OK... this has to be a joke. I started climbing when I was 46. At first I thought it was going to be about Olympic level competition climbing. Granted this is outdoor bouldering... ok. I'm now 59. I climb indoors but I'm progressing.... slowly. But enjoying every minute. V3-4 and 5.9-11+ depending on the gym and setters.

I started climbing at 26 after having to quit skateboarding cause i couldn't jump off a parking curb without my bad knee dislocating. Then spent almost two years pretending it wasn't that bad. Now at 37 i can easily drop 25+ft climbing outdoors mostly or in if available no problems. Age means what you want it to, as do injuries
