hohm Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 I just started getting out on the rock again after a 3 year haitus, and it seems as though everyone out there is well, sort of "youthful"... Its not as though I dont enjoy climbing with younger folks, but it would be nice to meet some people still climbing hard who are more my age. Where are all the old farts? Quote
Drederek Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 There are a few of us over 40's climbing at OW's quarry on wednesday nights. I thought old fartism struck at like, ... 80 or so! Quote
Lazyboy Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 There is one I have heard of. I think the name is Beckey or something like that. I don't know how to contact him. Quote
hohm Posted July 18, 2004 Author Posted July 18, 2004 To Drederek....I think old fartism officially begins somewhere around 50....I know because I am getting close and I feel it getting nearer. Â BTW, where is OW quarry? Quote
snoboy Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 There is one I have heard of. I think the name is Beckey or something like that. I don't know how to contact him. Â Easy enough, go climbing with a pretty girl, he'll find you. Quote

EWolfe Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Yeah. I am still kickin' it out at 42.  Ibuprophen is my friend  Quote

Scourge Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 MisterE, you don't look that old, but I'm not a very good judge of age.....my eyesight is going. Next maybe my hearing, then my Viagra will stop working. Any older broads around here that still climb? Thanks Quote
EWolfe Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Ah, I see. You are looking for a broad base of climbing partners?  Thanks for the compliment, I'll take the bad judge and failing eyesight  Quote
Scourge Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 Shit, I forgot, this is not spray, please don't ban me , I love all the moderators. My Alzheimer's is acting up again. Thanks Quote
Alpinfox Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 Yeah. I am still kickin' it out at 42.  Ibuprophen is my friend   The old dog can SEND!  Quote
