I wish I had started younger. I got into climbing a year ago at 18.

17, I took a class because a girl I had a crush on took the class. I didn't spend any time on the rock until I was 21 or so though.

I was 30. I really wish I'd taken that class my dad tried to talk me into when I was 18. Dammit! I could been a contender. Now I'm just happy to get up a 10a alive.

13/14 somewhere inbetween there, but i've always been a climber at heart. As a little kid i climbed everthing, trees, cars, and even started buildering. When i played with Lego's i would make a lego cliff and make my action figures climb it

I started climbing at 45 with my then 12 year old son. He's kinda flaked but I'm hooked.

I think it was age 32 (or maybe 33 - I can't remember - it's an old age thing).

I'm the big four oh now and I've gotten stronger and climbed harder every year since I started!
We really need a climber chick rendevous.....

Hell yeah! But I have the strange feeling that it would be co-sponsored with the first male stalking gathering nearby. :shock: Something about the sheer possibility of a climbing chick pajama party.
We should hold it in Rocky Mountain National Park. Enough variety of climbing for all, and centrally located. Course, i could be biased. :D
