Ok lets lower the age limit to 39, that way we will keep the real young ones out of this, and still accomodate young folks like you Mother_Sheep. But you have to promise not to show off your climbing skills to much!!

Yep ... the lil' one's just don't know how to mind their P's & Q's. Always wantin' to be with us ol' folks. Thought they'd learn when they turned 21! Was fine then, but now ... betcha' they wish they were 21 again! :lol:
Don't really understand why they would want to crash our party. When the sun goes down and the chill is in the air, those wipper-snappers will want to build a bonefire, turn up that damn music box real loud and go ta' jumpin' around the fire like savages whilst we are tryin' ta get some needed sleep. Don't sound like much fun for them ... does it?

I think it's really funny that the 'yung uns' want to come out an play with the 'older folks'. Why would they when they could be having fun with all the twenty somethings who don't know how to hold their booze and drink and puke that Jagger swill and they think it's cool. :wink:
Could it be that they want to see some of the retro gear of yesteryear?
Or do some of the twenty and early thirty somethings actually think that there could be some good looking, mature, fit and conditioned older men (and women) who are wiser, thoughtful, a little bit mature and who know what their partner really wants without having to lay out all the testosterone (and estrogen) to prove it?
Or do they just want to climb circles over our heads?
I just love it when I read the newbie twenty somethings saying they climb 5.11c SPORT (what the f*ck is sport btw) and then they have leg shakes five feet above their last pro on a 5.6 trad lead. This cracks me up.
Or do the younger climbers want a TROPHY older partner?
Inquirying minds want to know. :wink:

Jay uses one of these. Which one? :twisted:
Tracy, luv, you are FAR too cute, strong and adjusted to be in here. I do VERRRRRRY much like your TP ideals though.
I'm qualified to post here, however, because my last two boyfriends combined are older than my grampa, and have thicker glasses than him too :P And I am neither cute or adjusted. hahaha.

i am sorry for my light hearted suggestion since it seems to make you so angry 14er...
but since you asked...
i haven't had any jaeger since college (10 years back)...
i do respect everyone and what they have to offer...regardless of age (my children, in fact, have taught me more than any college course)...
i have never sprayed about what i climb sport, trad, or ice...
and above all, i would never treat anyone with disrespect especially having never met them and basing my entire opinion on their age.

Get a little bit of thickness to your skin(s). Have a little fun.

Amber, it's called 'reverse trophy'. :wink:
Almost like when an older woman is hitting on a younger man.
Everything is equally relative re: dating outdoors-people. 'eh?

Well since so many want to join us in our quest for the hallowed title "older than dirt" I'll propose this. I just accumulated, two days hence, another notch on the belt (Yes I'm letting it out!) toward that holiest of grails.... I will offer up for auction my accumulation of excess prowess in following this earth ship around the sun. Shall we start the bidding.... No I don't drink Jaegger, trophy brides or partners perhaps, tenderly administered hot towels, carefully prepared chair by the fire, or better yet the best lie about my prowess on any given climb that my piers will likely beieve. Knowing only to well that 15 minutes from the telling they will have all foregotten.

reverse trophy, it is!
i'll bid for the position of colog's partner! i've seen him send towers and routes in the black as if they were sport routes, and he's always up for campfire chat and beer afterwards.

continue to make assumptions...
i am pretty sure that 9 years in the military and almost 7 years in the fire service have provided me with a thickness of skin that is just right.
the bottom line is...cute icons or otherwise the tone of previous posts was one of seeming condescension towards anyone who started climbing after
In reply to: Royal Robbins and EB's
i just politely pointed that out...and now i need medication. :roll:

RR,
While I've been on this board for some time, I don't post that often. And when I do, I never at all make any condesentions toward anyone, I never pick on anyone, and I never flame anyone.
With that said, the whole thread was geezer this and that and with all due respect to senior citizens of the universe, I do not consider myself a geezer. I don't look like one, don't act like one, and I certainly don't climb like an elder statesman...cause I'm not.
I've got my funny thoughts about yung 'uns and sometimes I'm correct in that assumption. Usually when testosterone, estrogen, certain types of alcoholic beverages are concerned.
BTW, some of us who are over fifty, and I'm barely over fifty, get discriminated against by the young twenty and thirty something hot chicks and we just 'grin and bear it'. It comes with the territory. :wink:
Thick skin is cool, BTW. It's also nice to everyone's ego to get hit on by the opposite sex every now and then. No matter what age is involved. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and climbing routes at thirty or fifty, it's the same route. Fair?

fair enough...
i didn't intend to crash your thread or your party.
r.r.
p.s. every climber i have met or tied in with that has been a"geezer" (professed or otherwise) has taught me something. it's just for some reason none of them have chosen to live in southern indiana. :cry:
