Hey all the existing age cartegory 35+ is not really a age category. For me my best climbing happened in this years 35ü , real suffering and difficulies to get into shape started with 42. Could we have a extra age category , i.e. 45 + for real "old climbing guys" ? or is there another  possibility to filter the real old ones out? what do you think? Wolfi

Just came back from my first Kalymnos trip! I can only say: Please stop all work on the "Excluding Kalymnos-button"...! What a lovely place, fabulous climbing, ofcause. And as elsewhere, there are soft ticks and hard ticks! My daughter at 14 did her first 7a, "Sex in the City", Arginonta. How happy she was! By the way it's a nice crimpy route which deserves more than the zero stars it recieved in the guidebook.

@ Horss: I know, I know! And I did it without being offered neither bonds nor drachmer...! But it is fascinating to see how climbing supports that little community. Yosemite, Chamonix, Sheffield (;-), Kathmandu - and now (or rather for some time) Massouri...!

another idea combining the solutions for Kaly and years on your belt: Kaly routes count only for guys 45+ (Michael, maybe you can get the points of your daughter so that she has not climbed Sexin the city for nothing) keep on rocking PS: by the way: like this shot (and your sense for jokes) http://www.8a.nu/images/gallery/16761_634101594541311250.jpg Wolfi
