Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Climbing, But Were Afraid To Ask

[rydra_wong]

This is a post where you can ask all the questions you're always wanted to ask about climbing, whether you've already started or are just beginning to think about maybe possibly kind of giving this a try.

Or maybe you've been climbing for decades, and have always wondered about that one thing, and by now it would be OMG TOO EMBARASSING to admit you don't know.

No topics are off-limit, no questions too clueless, so let rip and get answers from demi-n00bs experienced climbers.

Also, depending on where you are, you might have access to university resources (a LOT of colleges have climbing walls now) or public resources (minnaway climbs at a gym owned by the local parks department, IIRC).

And I gave up my "regular" health club membership to join my climbing gym, because it has a full weights room setup, yoga classes, aerobic machines, and even free Crossfit classes (although I'm too wimpy to join those). The only thing it doesn't have is a sauna or jacuzzi (sigh).
