I'm trying really, really hard to get to the point of climbing V2 or V3. Doesn't sound much, but I'm coming up to 58, and struggling with weight. I used to climb British 6a/b, so there's a little technique in there somewhere, but very little upper body strength. Last year I got to the point of attempting a couple of V3s, but then had a bit of a setback. These videos are what inspire me to keep plugging away.
just fingerboard and be really really careful with it. tendon strength can be developed easier than muscular strength at that age. just do a little everyday
Thanks Phil, it really means a lot to get comments like this. I'm glad the vids help keep you psyched! Keep at it and I'm sure you'll overcome any setbacks 💪
Fingerboard for finger strength. It’s not as dangerous as has been suggested because you don’t shock load fingers like in campussing. You just lift your feet. And pull-ups leading to weighted pull ups. I’m 62 and been doing v5s indoors. On routes, my last was a 7b+ sport route in the Toulourenc gorge. You can get back in your 60s.
I live in the south east of Germany and I feel this so much. Our winter has been so wet you couldn't climb anything. Even the big overhangs were seeping so much...
Amazing video! I’m very lucky to live a 5 minute drive from Wharncliffe. In fact I could even walk there in about 30 minutes from my house! Has been my local ever since I started climbing and I love it!
Beautiful video as always ❤ thank you again for this. Personally i love climbing in all difficulties and find that often climbs i can do with relative ease are a lot more enjoyable. Hence, i typically want to climb them many times, playing around with betas and holds. More often climbs i first thought were avarege turn into wonderful climbs. A lot of more popular areas are popular for a reason be that easy access or beginner friendliness but also get a reputation of being quite poor, avarege or "nothing special". Then there is also the fact that enjoying something is mostly about your own expectations. A beatiful scene, good company or atmosphere can make a avarege "rightleftrightlefttop" problem into a really goo experience which often effects the rating of a climb. Also i feel like some climbers just enjoy climbing more and don't let smaller things effect their positive experience. I know a lot of people who would be turned off by a few nasty crimps even though everything else would be perfect on a climb and bash about it afterwards. Shame...
Amusingly, the richest bouldering potential is often in popular bouldering areas. Just needs a bit of scrubbing and looking round corners. Maybe change the name of very active badgers as some locals like to fight dogs against them.

I agree, often there are a number of factors outside of the climb itself that effect how much you enjoy it 👌
