So even at 67, climbing skills can be improved with patience and dedication. You can do it!
I've biked up the spine of the Rocky Mountains, Appalachians (twice), Adirondacks, across the Cascades, Down the Cali Coast in my 30s and 40s. I know HOW to do it. I assume I can still do a lot. Just wondering how long other people have done it, or are still doing nice climbs in later decades of life.
I fully realize this is highly individual.
