At the time, Odette was 61 years old yet he was still able to complete the climb. Eulogy is a boulder that is renowned for its difficulty. It has only been completed by a handful of climbers since it was first ascended by legendary climber John Bachar in 1987. Despite his age, Odette was able to complete the climb with remarkable ease. He described the experience as “like taking a walk in the park”.
Odette's success on Eulogy is a testament to his experience and dedication to the sport. He has been climbing for over 30 years and is considered one of the most experienced climbers in the world. In an interview with Rock and Ice Magazine, Odette said that he was inspired to complete Eulogy because he wanted to prove that age is no barrier to climbing. He said, “Age should not be a factor in any activity; you should be able to do what you love no matter how old you are.” The accomplishment was not only remarkable due to Odette's age but also because of the length of time it took him to complete the climb. It took him three weeks to complete, whereas most climbers take several months.
Odette's success on Eulogy is a testament to his experience, dedication, and determination. He is an inspiration to climbers of all ages and is proof that age should never be a barrier to achieving your dreams.
