Age Is Just A Number

Posted May 30, 2012 at 8:08 am · Comments { 6 } · Photo: Bill Ramsey on Reverse Polarity

In case you needed more proof that people both old and young can climb at a high level:

  • Via Mike Doyle is this excellent video of Bill Ramsey, who turned 52 shortly after it was made, climbing on Reverse Polarity (5.14b) at Mt. Potosi.
  • 8a.nu reports that 42-year-old Yuji Hirayama has done the FA of a route called Cafecito Necesito that should be around 5.14b or c.

    See also the story “Novato Marin (59) goes for 8b+” on 8a.nu (don’t know how to link to the story alone).

    Infact, there are quite a number of boys in europe who’s been sending routes in the 8th french grade after their fifties. Unless you get pulled back by family, sickness, accident… there’s actually no stopping them to achieve even more in their 60ties 🙂
