As They say
"Youre as old as the woman you feel"
or in our case we're as old as the partners we climb with
Himo after being told which route we were going to climb
and then the "young guns"
Ondra step aside HERE COMES MAT
then we have Mats granny
young guns that I find hard to keep up with
or do they find it hard to keep up with me
and then my bro

zBrown, I'm in Norway for climbing and work, but brought the "data" with me (yep, I'm really that geeky). I will try to update the histo and centiles this week.

He recently turned 80. My age in the morning is predicated by the amount of coffee I've had.

Four score years and 5 months ago my parents brought forth on this continent ... ME.
In attempt to raise Cowpoke's mean, I'm 80.

Thank goodness, Don. I was beginning to despair. Finally a little extra weight at the far end of the spectrum!

Young enough to use you guys as a classroom.
Old enough to label my class notes "how not to behave."

Just turned 43...not sure how that happened. Thought I wasn't supposed to make it past 27.
Here is a pic at Sandstone Quarry a few weeks ago. 70 pounds lighter than I was when I was 41 :)

Jeebus - bunch of old kats on this site - but at least we are still kicking it - so there.
Real question ought to be "How many times should you have died by now?"
For me - 4 confirmed and 7 probable.

Ricky D! Re your post:

Oh SCHIST!
That is a revealing question. I'm pretty sure I've used up at least 6 of my 7 "cat-lives."
I do, on occasion, have some ugly dreams at night about my "close-calls" while climbing.
Yeh, Yeh, I posted my age earlier on this thread.

Wizard B then stated, "Ah! Now I know your age!"
Wizard A = 72
Three children could be 2, 6, 6
or 3, 3, 8. Indeterminate.
I will turn an age equal to Wizard A's age plus the number on the bus, plus two (2)
Wow . . . sure about that?
You may be citing a more sophisticated problem than this. Mine is simply one example. If your problem is more general, I will leave it to RGold - he's younger than me with a more agile mind.

Physically? 32. And somehow already the "old guy" in my circle.
Mentally? Wellll...Take a look at this pic and I'll let you guys be the judge.
And thanks cowpoke for pre-empting my statistics compilation obsession (and for doing a much better job at it than I would have, to boot).

Two things about age.
It's a very rough indicator of what exposure someone has had to life's things and events.
You can use it to good advantage in getting park passes, social security and medicare (if your exposure has left you desirous of such like).

Is Riccardo Cassin still alive? If he is, we need him to break the century mark. Last I heard, he was 98 or 99, still talking about climbing!
Edit: Nope. He passed in 2009 at the age of 100!

Old enough to appreciate climbing well; young enough to still manage it on occasion.
