I think someone else also elduded to it... If you always, always climb with the same partner.. find a new one and timeshare. :D A change in perspective could have good effects.

I climb with a butt loud of folks. I am not depressed. I was just trying to jump start a philosophical conversation. I thought I could birddog flush out some good stories. We got some.

Losing weight is probably the easiest and quickest way to climb harder but I don't know if that's an option for you caribe. In your case, maybe you should try getting depressed.

Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.

to 2nd the thoughts of dronez... caribe, what are you on man? it looks like krampus jacked your account... or did you finally make that peeench on the red climb and get all high on endorphins or something? :lol: i expect more of you and your literacy.
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening

Caribe, I know this doesn't help much, but I think you need to realize that 99.99999% of the people who start climbing at the age you did will never climb harder than 5.10. So the fact that you are bagging 12's is pretty damn impressive.

"Many a hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could"

Sorry that song pop into my head when read JB's post about plateaus...

I agree with Dany 100% - losing weight was the best climbing training I have ever done. I can look back at my hardest routes and boulder problems and they were all when I was a lean as possible. So any ways, were did I put my beer and ice cream....

Don't listen to tutu girl. She is an absolute freak of nature. She is going to be sending hard at 100 years old. When I went climbing with her my jaw dropped.

Also, I am not that old. Forty something is the new thirty something.
