With some work you probably could. You'd be surprised by how many "older" dudes (40+) absolutely crush it at the climbing gym. It takes a damn lot of strength and flexibility for them to be able to do that.
- lordbusiness 12y agoTo add to this, when it comes to rock climbing so much is down to finesse, and precision. As a mediocre climber, I find myself limited when on routes that I can't muscle my way out of; it's a conscious effort to practise planting my feet slowly and accurately, and coordinating my balance. Climbing is such a wonderful activity precisely because it blends so many things; strength, agility, discipline, accuracy, not to mention shear mental focus. Oh, and you get to play with lots of gear and gadgets. It's great for geeks. :-)
