Here's some inspiration for you - although not Aussie - Rab Carrington redpointed his 1st 8a (29) at the tender age of 60 :) How cool is that! I also have a friend who, in his 50's was regularly onsighting 7b+/7c (26/27) and did his 1st 8a+ (30) when about 54. I'm getting on a bit too, & just had my best year :)
It's alllll about the motivation! Go JJ!!! |
