I mean, I think.

You know, it's hard to say because there just aren't that many super old climbers.

And then a lot of the ones that come to mind, like sort of famous old climbers, you know, I mean, they die the same ways that everybody dies, you know, like cancer or heart disease or whatever, but like in their late 80s or whatever.

Mm-hmm.

No, I mean, I think climbing is a great way to age.

I mean, I have a bunch of friends who are sort of 50s and 60s who are very fit.

Like actually, I mean, it comes to mind, there's a friend of mine who's a philosophy professor at UNLV at the university, but he's incredibly jacked.

And I think he's 64 now.

I think he just became the oldest person to climb a certain grade, like 514, which is like kind of an elite rock climbing grade.

But I think he's maybe the oldest person to have done that now.

But he once told me in San Diego that he was at some hotel pool in middle America at some conference or something.

And some kid asked if he could touch his abs because he'd never seen.

He was like, are they real?

Because he's like a 48-year-old professor who's shredded.

And some kid in the pool was like, can I touch those?

Is that real?

I've never seen a thing like that.

Yeah, that's a very common thing for adults.

I mean, especially men, especially somebody like you who's already fit.

And so you try to bring the tool you already have to it, and you're like, no, you've got to drive with your legs, go technique, mobility.
