[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 8977395, member: 6696971"] I have very little doubt you would be able to pull it off and become at least proficient in the headspace and managing the various techniques to pull it off. Like anything one hasn't done, it looks and sounds daunting...until it isn't! In late 2019 I had to give up basketball (I was 42 then, I'm 45 now). That was very difficult. I also gave up cross-fitting (much less difficult to give that up, but I had been a weightlifter to one degree or another since I was 16). I had to replace these very important physical outlets with some other physical discipline. Both my rotator cuffs are wrecked as is my left labrum from BJJ and pitching (right rotator cuff). I have absolutely zero background as a gymnast and while I'm not afraid of heights...I don't love them...so....hey, why not take up climbing! 3.3 years (and a torn left biceps and flexor tendon and a broken hook of hamate on my right hand...costing me about 1 year total of lost time) later and climbing (bouldering without rope and lead climbing with rope) has gone from daunting to putting out just north of intermediate climbing facility (which I doubt I will ever ascend much beyond...but I'm at peace with my plateau). If a totally broken down 45 year old body with no background in a discipline can figure out a way to go from totally daunted to mediocre in a few years, I'm more than confident you can get there with Story Now GMing, my friend!
