Thank you for the encouraging words. I'm 58 and I started top rope climbing 8 months ago. I needed to hear these words today.

[@George_Climbs]

I'm glad you found my video helpful... that's awesome that you also started climbing late in life... if you're still doing it 8 months on, you're clearly enjoying it - good job! Thanks for your support, I appreciate it a lot...

[@chrisembry3736]

Fantastic insight and explanation. Best rebrand ever because of the change of the person doing it and we can truly feel it. Good luck, and we will all be here supporting you on this next chapter, George!

[@George_Climbs]

Thank-you! Your support means such a lot to me!

[@augustclimbing]

Wise and encouraging words! I’m glad that you’re still climbing and also keeping the channel alive. I’m excited to continue following George Climbs 👍🏻👍🏻

[@George_Climbs]

Thank-you! And thank-you for your ongoing support... it really does mean a lot to me!

[@Tarabulus]

Not gonna lie - I panicked! I think "George Climbs" is also inspiring :) Climbing is for everyone and I really enjoy your content and attitude. Will be happy to continue to follow your climbing journey. Consider yourself hugged (if that's ok).

[@George_Climbs]

Thanks! And yes, a hug is just fine thank-you! (I love to offer, like that cool teacher... a hug, handshake or high-five... nice of you to check!)

I've committed to learning a lot of difficult skills/hobbies as an adult, and I consistently have seen that the number 1 determining factor of how far someone is able to progress at any given thing is primarily limited by how good they think they're capable of becoming one day. Henry Ford has always stuck with me - "Whether you think you can or you think you can't - you're right." If you truly believe and tell yourself that you have the capacity to get as good as a pro one day, you just might. But if you think you can never be as good as them then you definitely never will be.

[@George_Climbs]

That's really interesting, Matt... I took up archery a few years ago and my goal was to "enter a tournament and not come last". After six months I did just that. Then I looked at progression... could I be bothered to shoot the number of arrows I'd have to shoot to get better and maybe make a podium? No. Was I having fun anyway? Kinda, but not really. So I declared success and moved on. At the climbing wall I basically _know_ that I will _never_ climb the highest grades (my decline due to age will likely overtake any gains I make in terms of strength, technique and weight loss)... BUT I am having _so much fun_ doing it that I don't care. I love how we can constantly set a new goal... "climb a V1", "flash a V1", "climb a V2", "flash half of the V1s in the new circuit", "flash _all_ the V1s in the new circuit", "climb all the V2s".. "speedrun the V0s"... I love how there is a near constant supply of new goals available in climbing. (But with saying " _know_ I will _never_ ", I am _very_ willing to be surprised one day when I top a V8!)

Love this rebrand! You’re so right that our inner monologue can control how we perform. I started climbing a little over a year ago. I was 36 and overweight. I almost pulled out of the course I signed up for multiple times because I was afraid about my fitness level and my body. I am so glad I pushed myself past those fears. I’ve made some great friends and a sense of community that I’ve never had before. All bodies are climber bodies!

[@George_Climbs]

I'm glad you pushed past those fears, too, Godfrey! Well done! And thank-you for your kind comments, I appreciate your support so much!

[@kirstensheppard2406]

Good rebrand. Never thought it described you that well 😉

[@George_Climbs]

Thank you for you kind words and ongoing support, it really means a lot to me!

[@ianmaclure5902]

If you hang out in any rope climbing wall, you will see a lot of "old" guys climb at a level I aspire towards. And if you hang you in any bouldering gym you feel old if your over 28 :P Congrats on your personal climbing journey, and other journeys beside.

[@George_Climbs]

That's really interesting... yes, I guess bouldering attracts the younger crowd. Thank-you for your kind congratulations!

[@domighty8]

I subscribed to this channel because I was inspired by your old bio saying you can't change "old," but you can with "fat." I'm so happy you achieved it!! keep going!!

[@George_Climbs]

Thanks! And thank-you for your continued support, it means a lot to me!

[@prz3m0k0x]

I have to admit, that my first reaction to the channel was "lmao look fat old guy tries his best and he's funny about being fat and old". Never really paid too much attention, just once in a time quick check on how is my old fam doin on the wall. But with this vid - u bought me, as a person. Great insight into a ones soul, interesting view, and obviously - charming accent. Keep it up, great energy and i can't wait for more

[@George_Climbs]

Thank-you for your lovely, kind comment... it fills me with joy! And thank-you for your ongoing support, I appreciate it a great deal!

[@Leithal2k0d]

Had me going when I had seen the title but hope to see more of your videos, they gave me the confidence to give it a go and should be coming near to about a year climbing soon.

[@George_Climbs]

That's so lovely to hear! Congratulations on your upcoming climbiversary!

[@Uriom21]

Amazing!!! I'm eager to see George climb. This change is a great choice. Keep sharing your positive energy with the world, trust me when I say you really cheer up people's days.

[@George_Climbs]

Thank-you! And thanks for the kind words...
