I just turned 67 and still climb. The knees and hips are still pretty good.
The difference from years gone by is that my wife and daughter made me promise
not to climb when no one else was home. I used to go up in the rain, snow, at
night, etc. I abide with their wishes and take a cell phone up with me and
maybe an HT also.
Also, now I climb with a fall arrest body harness. I climbed with only a waist
belt for many years but changed over about 15 years ago.
73, Stew K3ND

I'll be 63 in a few months. I still climb but only when someone is home and
I use a full arrest harness bought from K7LXC.
My forays are limited to repairing my 160 unipole feed and dipoles. I cannot
manhandle beams anymore. My comfort level at 100' lasts but a few minutes.
