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!

Jamies intro felt like "I do drugs." There is nothing to be ashamed of 😅 I just started at 30 and I'm super happy to finally have found a sport that I like.

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

look up Yuji Hirayama... 9a at 50 years old

[@jaslabouch8318]

I´m 44 and I feel the same.

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

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.

This is a joke, right?

[@Phoenixhunter157]

Right?! Wtf?! “I didn’t tell anyone when I turned 30” gtfoh!

[@JJ0n3z]

Hahaha, who gives a shit? I didn't START climbing until I was 34. Who cares? Do people really worry about this?

[@CalmTurtle2023]

Totally agree!! I'm trying to figure out the reason for the video.
