Took up climbing at uni in the late 80s and did pretty much nothing else every weekend, holiday and many evenings. Injuries have curtailed things now I’m in my forties but I keep intending to get back to it again once I get the bike thing out of my system. Got fed up with climbing walls but training is a necessary evil if you want to improve. It gets much harder to maintain a level of performance as one gets older and chronic shoulder and wrist injuries don’t help.
Was on-sighting E3 on a good day and grade 5 in winter… Ah, those were the days!
