Geriatric climbers thread

[FBerkel]

Any other old guys out there find they have to diet and/or exercise to maintain climbing weight?

FB? what would you say Climbing weight
to be?

 

[FBerkel]

Good question. For me, about 190. But that's just me. Maybe within 20 lbs of what you weighed when you started? (The difference is all muscle, of course.)

I'm around 250 out of the shower, I gotta eat to keep my weight up

 

[FBerkel]

Alright, I lied, it's 290. I can see where this is going...

No, I was blessed with thin parents, so I am thin, no matter what I eat, or how often.
I often wonder if I had a sedentary job, if I would gain weight. When my wife complains about gaining a few pounds, I tell her to follow me around for a few days, and do what I do. I don't think weight gain would be an issue.
I am starting to feel the aches and pains of old age though, if that makes you feel better.

I weigh about 240 I'm also 6'4" I'd imagine weighing 40 lbs less would make climbing Less Fatiguing .
