I am currently 154kg, but I started climbing when I was closer to 170kg.

No. not really. I have a lot of people complain that I'm going to injure myself climbing, and I am and have, but it's not just exercise for me, it's also FUN.

I could also injure myself going for a walk around the lake.

Broken left and right ankle (tendon tore off the nub of bone it’s attached to on both ankles at different times), twisted left ankle, torn left calf, torn right calf.

In the past I've had motorcycle crashes that gave me a torn left shoulder that got reconstructed and a twisted right ankle from hitting a guard rail.

I also have a collapsed disc in my lower back, and an abdominal hernia.

Not a question, but yes.

But hopefully, over time, I can switch things up and be healthier.

Before I started climbing my health was on the down slide, and honestly didn’t think I would make it to 40.

But as of now, my blood pressure is in normal ranges, as is my blood sugar. Liver and Kidney functions are great and my weight is down.

Last thing on my bloods I need to sort out is cholesterol.
