Only 13 years to go before I can climb ... I am nearby 70.
I climbed for the last time when I was fifty five, I guess thats about the
age we should stop climbing. Serious compagnies wont insure climbers after
fifty-five, at least in Belgium. Believe me they dont care that much about
climbers, they only care about money.....
