Kickin it Old School

Kickin it Old School

We ran into this "older" couple (I say this nicely because I'm 47) at the Warm Up Wall doing a fun 5.7 climb called "High Seas". I just had to take this picture because I was digging the old school climbing digs - oh how I remember the eighties and my lycra tights. They say all fashion trends eventually repeat... By the way, these two were one of the nicest couples we met on our trip to Owens River Gorge. They were very friendly chatting with us while we climbed beside one another, and encouraged my wife in a 5.10 on-sight attempt.

Re: It's encouraging to see...

I do find the older I get the less pure power I have; but on the other hand, the experience and head space of having climbed for so long, tends to offset the loss of strength - that's what I keep telling myself anyway!
