The most dangerous time is when you make a bad decision.
The gung ho years and probably the first year of getting into climbing, or these days transition from gym to outdoors would have to be the most dangerous.
You can only recall all the 40-50 year olds because they have reached a remarkable level of proficiency, are still out there doing it, develop a name for themself, so that when they made a bad decision and their time is up everyone gets to hear about it. You dont usually hear about the unknown from the gym accidents or deaths (on a global scale).
