I haven't found what works best yet though as i... Read more

I haven't gotten there yet, but I have come pretty close to doing one, but I think it was very much my "style" as it was a very physical boulder and I have been weight lifting for a few years and have some strength.

Rock climbing can be beneficial for seniors, improving strength, flexibility, balance, and providing mental stimulation. Prioritize safety, consult a healthcare professional, start with easier climbs, and progress gradually. Tailor the activity to individual capabilities and listen to the body to prevent injury.
