    I always hated that. I grew up with a big hazelnut bush/tree next to our house, where it was usually more useful to pull yourself up than to try to find good footing.

    And then I think, I’ve been climbing my whole life, I’ll visit a climbing gym, and then they’re like, oh no, not that kind of climbing. That would be using muscles, which is famously unpopular in gyms.

        Bro, if you’re gonna mock me, you shouldn’t assume that I actually visited a gym. Obviously, I did not. I was speaking figuratively.

        I’ve encountered these rock climbing walls on excursions and such, so I know that I hate them, and I know that climbing gyms are full of them.

        All I’m saying is that if they had tree-like climbing opportunities or at least rock-climbing walls with rocks you can actually grip, then that could get me to actually visit a gym.
        I’m just disappointed that climbing is the only sport I really enjoy and even the fucking climbing gym still isn’t for me.

          My dude, you should definitely go visit a climbing gym because you’ve got no idea what you’re talking about if you think they don’t have problems with grips you can hold onto.

            Alright, my guy, thanks for the advice. I don’t know why we’re being so aggressive to each other. I don’t think, there’s that many climbing gyms around here and what I’ve seen of the one we do have, it looked like grips are exclusively for children, but I guess, I should inform myself more.
