10 years after this was was posted and still love climbing, especially now that the Wraptor is around.
 
Ditto, that, Guy! Hell, I even have my Medicare card now that I've turned 65. Glad to have my Wraptor back from being stolen....

Good news--lock that thing up! I would be so dead in the water without it.
 
44 and still a tree climbing bad ass. hell I am in my prime........now where did I leave that icyhot?
 
I just hired a 26 year old climber who is actually a very capable climber. He insists on climbing most of the trees and its kinda weird. I am not used to it. I guess I should be happy right? I think it wont be long and I could actually let them just do jobs and I could go do like estimates or whatever it is bosses go do. I dont if I am ready for that yet.
 
62 in another two months, or so. Still climbing. 10% BMI, 150 lbs. Vegan for most of my life. More energy than my 20-25 year old groundies. They take lunch breaks, I work on through.
 
I'll be 36 on the 11th and getting better every day. I've been doing about 75% bucket work for almost 8 years until this season. Seems like my "boss" finds every tall or inaccessible tree in a four county area. I do need to find another climber to give me some relief. We're running 3 crews and I'm starting to think I'm the only guy that knows how to put a saddle on and tie in.
