There is no age that is officially too old. However, if you have concerns about your ability to rock climb safely, consult your doctor.

It is not a question of age, but of what shape you are in. If you can climb and have endurance, then it doesn't matter how old you are.

Well i think there is an age, it might be different for different people, but later on in life, your body simply does not respond as well as it used to when young. Balance, eyes sight, coordination all of it gets affected.

You're never too old to learn rock climbing! If you have good arm and leg mobility and are eager to do, you can learn it at any age.
