Joe,
This is my first time to venture into this section of JPF. The university that I work and workout at is in the processing of passing a student referendum to pay for doubling the size of the Student Rec Center. If it passes, they will build a climbing wall. I've never been on one but it looks intriquing.
You ever see climbers older than you? I would guess that you have been doing it for a while so you are trying to maitain what you've got but what about someone who is 50 and has never done it... much chance of being successful?
I saw a few bits and pieces of a really cool show on TV - don't know what it was - but the guy was obviously a pretty good climber. There was a rack on the wall and he would "jump" from one rung to another catching him self by only his finger tips. ... moving up and down! They also showed him doing one-armed pull-ups. SURELY, not all climbers are in that great of shape!?! If they are, I've got a lot more work to do!
