Bouldering is gay but rope climing is cool. My favourite is auto-belay. I hate belaying someone as it is boring

>>77203584
I saw a chick with really muscular calves bouldering once and it kinda turned me off climbing in general :/

what percentage of fit can do this

I don't know. It seems like the most contrived hobby. "I drive to the indoor facility to climb up a wall of artificially manufactured rocks." This is what the humans do.

>>77203584
Went climbing a few times and it's full of either super ropey skilled people in their groups or of flabby tech workers in their groups.
Saw one from the latter category fall and grasshopper his leg completely backwards.
Fuck that shit, if I ever want to do that I'll max out a leg press instead and go out like the gods want me too, screaming "light weight, baby".

>>77203584
climbing is somewhat of a trend right now, where I live at least, and it's full of the most insufferable people imaginable.

>>77203636
Try bachata classes, it's even worse. And everyone is fucking everyone.

>>77203637
That's because bachata is not even a good dance. It doesn't even look good at the highest level. It's for 20 year olds with no taste.
Now salsa, that's the real dance.

>>77203639
Actually people from my former friend group all started doing it in their mid-thirties.

It's really fun, but the downside of it turned me off.
>1. Absurd and expensive
It is just plastic rocks on a fucking wall, yet it costs like 100$ minimum for a monthly membership, 100$ at minimum for a pair of climbing shoes which need to be replaced after awhile, like 80$ for a harness if you want to do anything with the ropes, chalk (Though sometimes they give chalk for free), etc. And you can only really go once a week and give max effort unless you're a super pro or something.
>2. Crowd
The people are friendly usually but they all seem so deluded. You can't really expect to have a really open conversation with anyone because they're almost all bumper sticker liberals with dyed hair and nose piercings. Most places blast music at top volume like you're at a fucking rave, which is really annoying.
>3. Absurdity
Plastic rocks on a wall, most of the climbing isn't practical, or you're tearing up the natural environment of our mountains drilling holes into the stone to place your fucking gay accoutrements. Idk.

>>77204076
>>2. Crowd
Absolutely agree on the music. I just couldn't ignore it, it legitimately affected my ability to focus.

I find the crowd to often be friendly but very "cliquey" and awfully upper middle class. Met some really nice people but also a lot of douchebags.They LOVE to offer unsolicited advice and spoil your climb. Bouldering niggas past a certain level often feel like they own the place and get very smug. Guess it's the same kind of behavior you can notice in conventional gym.

I've been happy stopping bouldering and running outside ever since.

in my experience boulderers are strong as fuck but pretty fruity while rope climbers are mostly children and old people.

it's probably just because i'm from jew york but the kind of people that go to the climbing gym I go to are real fucking scum, just a ton of transplants and commie chapo faggots from megarich families. the conversations I hear from these people make me want to chud out so hard

Sex with a woman who isn't going to end up being my wife is a waste of time. I'd rather just jack off at that point, just as fucking worthless.

>>77204558
Can confirm. My wife and I pick up girl from the climbing gym all the time. Most of our fwb were from climbing gyms. Always rawdog them too they freaks

>muh lame indoor gym climbing on plastic rock surrounded by söys and loud music
Op never mentions indoor climbing. Do gymcels itt not realize that you can climb outside on real rock?

>>77205027
that'd in most cases require having friends especially when starting out, and we're on /fit/

>>77204971
It's harder to get a wife if you're inexperienced with women. All of the retarded mistakes you would've made should be reserved for side pieces.

My problem with bouldering is the gay matts. And no I don't want to have to carry a helmet and ropes and tools with me.

It's really fucking annoying how every single hobby, once you get into, needs a million expensive things you need to buy and then carry around with you to actually partake in. I really just wanna be able to set off and do something without needing to take a car full of stuff and doing several checklists befpre setting off in a truck and the taking 30 mins to get everything setup before I start. I really wish you could just spontaneously decide to do a little bit of climbing as you stroll along one day.

>if you fuck up you die
You don't. Risk is literally 0.00001x of the shit people fuck themselves up with with weights in the gym.

In bouldering if you're not a high level, you shouldn't be launching yourself off walls, so people who do that and fuck up their shit is basically a retard filter. If you're a high level, you know which situations to avoid, you know which situations you can commit and still be able to land safely.

In lead climbing the safety is even higher than in bouldering. You never advance beyond a certain point without securing yourself first. If you fuck up anywhere before doing that, your last clip will secure you. In indoor settings you literally have a human being who acts like a counterweight for if you fall. Even if you're a retard, that will save you.

Shit like >>77203599 is an indicator of the individual's level of retardation, not an indicator of risk inherent in climbing.

>>77207257
Jesus christ what a little bitch. Just go free soloing and then jump off the top if carrying a bit of safety equipment is such a hassle. although you'll probably find something to complain about on the way down as well.

Climbers die tragically all the time, and also get injured in stupid ways. Its a retarded hobby that harms the mental health of the people who care and worry about you.

I put myself out there, make an effort to improve myself. In the end that's all anyone can do.
But I think it's a sad world you lot are creating for future generation, who will have no sense of identity or ties to history, and will simply be nothing but corporate consumers.
If you value the health and stability of future generations, you have to take actions that the majority of our unhealthy population disagrees with.
At least I'll die with what bit of integrity remains to me, not spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars trying to socialize in a hobby filled with unprincipled individuals.

This. Climbing is for dyel nerds trying to pick up chick's and is full of zoomers. Run club is full of millennial woke fag's and bachata and salsa are arguably the least full of pricks, but ultimately is just the dance instructor fucking men's wives. Also, idk wtf happened between 2017 and 2026, but dance classes used to be most chick's. Now it's full of men and fucking non-binaries and dykes who don't wanna dance with men, so you get about 3-4 men who has to dance on their own during rotations at any one time.

It seems if you can get through the filter of the noob classes, you can get access to the hotter chick's though. Goddamn, it's sad to say but the best place was mma and boxing gyms, but then again, I am an antisocial arsehole.

Because I go to the regular gym 7 days a week I'm a pretty serious bodybuilder and I roon too. And the gym is a walkable distance from my house. Risking injury for no actual gains is fucked.
>you get mired by chicks bro!
That should already be happening at the gym and everywhere else. You rock climbing, crossfit, martial arts clubbers need to try harder than saying a girl might look in my general direction hopium. Make your club a prostitution ring or shut up about girls.

people who are worried about injuries while bouldering have clearly never bouldered, there are plenty more videos of retards being crushed by weights at the gym than people being injured while bouldering. that chink dynoing the last move of a route that clearly didn't need to be dynoed and breaking his ankle was pure retarded just like most of the injuries people get at the gym.

rope climbing is safe too, the weakest link is you forgetting something. like that polish dude filming his speed climbing and ultraquick descent.

>>77205027
My climbing gym has loud music. But the normal gym I pass on the way sounds like a literal night club. Both are obnoxious and I don't get why they have it. Just put plugs in and climb anyway
