A “crusty” old dude is basically a man or even a woman- of whom has been apart of a subculture for many decades (sometimes only a short time too but considers themselves veterans of the subculture). The term comes from California surf/rock climbing culture in the 90’s.
A crusty old dude’s attitude is very sour now, worn out, bitter, resentful, nasty, irritable, embittered; living in the past and full of negativity for change and the subculture moving forward.
Instead of being the opposite and helping to be inspirational, motivating and conscious of helping grow the subculture or sport forward- they consistently give in (the easier way out) to being a “hater” or “KOOK” to the younger generations- putting their achievements down and repressing any way forward for them.
Turning into a crusty old dude- is literally like being a Jedi knight in your youth- turning into a crusty old worn out Sith Lord- that everyone in the community avoids- as their energy is dark and all they speak about is how bad things are, and “back in their day it was way better”.
They literally exhaust people out, by the way they hold them selves being crusty.

Dude; Hey! What happened to Darren?? Man he used to be a strong climber in his 30’s.
Other dude: oh man, he is all downhill. Super crusty at the sport. No one hangs out with him anymore he’s that much of a crusty old dude.
