So inspiring! I started climbing when I was 36 and was worried I was too old to start doing it. It is so much fun and has greatly improved my general physical fitness. The community around it is also very laid back, kind, and supportive.
What a cool guy. I've started getting into climbing again more in my late 40's and once or twice thought, Am I too old for this? By the way, no one's ever made me feel that way at a climbing gym but this guy shows you how to silence the self doubt!
Climbing is the best! Super low impact, easy on the joints, builds strength and endurance... We meet older people at the crags all the time and it's super inspiring. Gives us hope that we can keep climbing well into our later years too!
Climbing is ACTUALLY NOT EASY ON THE JOINTS AT ALL. In fact it's quite the opposite, it's a sport that is very demanding on the joints and tendons and it's very easy to get injured if you are not aware of it. That's why everyone has to be very careful and always work on improving their technique, do proper warmup and prehab exercises. It is truly an amazing sport, but please don't mislead others by overlooking the fact that it is a very risky and technical sport.
@@Som-yc4ql Sure. But for those just starting at 5.4 in the gym - its typically easy on the joints and something older people and beginners can enjoy. Of course it gets more challenging and risky as you progress, but people shouldn't be afraid to try it.
@@Som-yc4ql It's pretty easy on everything except the fingers. The only things that aren't very forgiving for joints are dyno's, falling off of boulders, and weird contortion positions if you don't have the mobility. All of those can be easily avoided, even at very high levels.
@@codyandvictoria Of course people shouldn't be afraid to try climbing. But saying "Climbing is easy on the joints" is just not right. Many people get injured because of the advice like this. It's nice that you want to encourage people to climb, but at least don't tell them straight up lies that could get them injured.
Wrong, shaking your hand below your heart actually makes it worse. If you want to properly recover your 'swollen' forearms you raise your hand above your head and let gravity help replace the old blood with the new. Imagine that, a western doctor not understanding the fundamentals of physiology.
I started climbing at age 64 and will have my 68th birthday this month. I climb 3 times a week on lead and top-rope. Fun and challenging.

I started at 50, now 65! Love climbing and the community!

generalism at its finest. No gatekeeping or pigeonholing yourself. THis is amazing

When you're older than dirt, things no longer intimidate you.

Blood has to make a round trip. So I’d assume any hand position which is very high or low would be disadvantageous.
