Let's just say all these exercises will let you climb for years longer before your body packs in

 

When I used to do lots of pull-ups (a long time ago) I had constantly sore shoulders.

I few years ago I got some rings and started doing roughly equal quantities of pull-ups and dips, and my shoulders were absolutely fine.

Nothing. Though it's more feasible for me to develop Popeye arms than a beard well a decent looking beard rather than a patchy grey/blond chin mess.

I think that beards are reaching the tipping point of becoming uncool though. This as good for me as I can't grow a proper one.

Hipster beards are currently taking over England.

Yes, I think that point has already tipped.

I'm on about proper beards you could hide a badger in, not these fly by night £400,000 a wk beards

 Yeah beards are so over, the cool look for this summer is the bottle brush moustache, as popularised by some guy in the '40's.

This has taken a good turn, i like a beard, i once grew a badger hiding beard, it was beautiful, an old man once came up to me in the pub and stroked it while telling me how impressive it was for my age. It was odd, beards do have a downside it seems.

[tomtom]

Sounds like you'd pulled. Some might consider that a beard upside

When I went to watch Huddersfield Town v Brighton and saw this I realised the shark had been jumped...

Haha, I always thought facial hair in general was popular with evil dictators, just full beards are more associated with the left leaning ones. I saw a few 'Castro-esque' beards at the wall a couple of months ago.

I know I'm off topic now as I'm not talking about beards, BUT.......

im in the same boat as you, my main aim is to just abuse myself as ive been a lazy boy. Its just a bit of general conditioning, ive always been a bit weak in the body so just increasing my base level of fitness really.

This is silly.  If you 're going to put in the effort, make it directed.  It takes a little more planning, but no more overall effort so why "just abuse yourself".  Decide on an aim, then figure out the best method to get there. 

If you're UK based, then the fall is pretty prime season, so I'd assume you're in more of a build mode, so doing work capacity would be good for a few weeks.  I like doing a circuit of changing exercises for work capacity, with relatively high overall reps.  Always do a warmup set, then max it out, make it hurt, but get in a ton of volume.  I like pyramids for these type of bodyweight exercises, 1,2,...10,11,10....2,1 reps.  It totals out to a ton of work, but you build up into it well. I generally look to do two sets, the first - Pull-ups, Dips, Box Jumps, the second - Bench, Shoulder press, Rows.

I'd look like sideshow bob with a patchy grey beard. Ie a tramp.
