Hot Flash Club-Women Rock Climbers over 40

I'm starting to feel like a old lady out here.  Any other women rock climbers out there legally old enough to drink beer?  

This forum topic is to stir up fun conversation about rock climbing and the challenges of being in a minority as far as this combination of sport and age goes. 

Some questions and topics:

How and when did you fall head over heels for rock climbing?

How has age and experience helped you climb better?

How has it helped motivate you for fitness and weight loss?

How about those muscles!  

How to recover from injuries or how not to get injured in the first place.

Finally, the motto:

We came, we saw, we conquered.

We are women hear us roar!!!

I suppose the overwhelming response must mean:

1. There really are no 40ish women climbers on this forum, besides me.

2. The 40ish women climbers are too busy climbing to be writing in a blog.

3. This is such a strange concept that there's no comment to make...
