Cool gym.

At my gym people ask for tips about watching sports for free online.
Uuuuuughhhhhhhhh
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.
- Stand for 10 minutes.
  
  Now dead hang for 1 min.
  
  Surprise, your legs muscles are much bigger and much more powerful than your arms at defying gravity.
  
  I think the disconnect is, some go to the climbing gym to climb, others go to work out.

  Lmao
  
  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.
