My wife wants to know how may of us are still climbing our own tower
after age 68. If you don't any longer, please tell when you stopped.
(Now I gave my age away)
Best 73 de,

Hans,
Regardless of age, thats a personal assessment that each of us has to make.
Age, health, mental state, and physical fitness are all parts of that decision.
I am only 51 but didn't dare climb my tower after I experienced seizures. I
wasn't allowed to drive either for that matter. Now that the health issue is
fixed up I am back to climbing when I need to and after being gone a couple of
years, I need to get my antennas fixed back up.
People forget that you expend the same amount of energy taking the stairs on a
10 story building as you do climbing a 100 ft tower. If you can't physically
walk up the fire stairs on a 10 story building then you probably shouldn't be
climbing your tower.
