Winter Lust List: Climbing

By: What Matters?, 1 year 5 months ago

If you're a climber, winter can really suck. Even for the mlldly-addicted, the short cold days provide perfectly frustrating opportunities to fantasize about climbing on real rock in the sun.

For most climbers, winter usually means at least one of the following: A. Time to distract yourself with other sports, like ice climbing, which, let's face it, is just not the same. B. Some serious gym time. When the sun sets at 4:30, it's time to spring for a gym membership, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and often it's a necessity for staying sane. Gyms are big play grounds that keep you in shape for spring so you can send when the warmer weather hits. C. Time to buy a plane ticket. Think Thailand, Greece, Hueco Tanks, St. George, Vegas, really anywhere there's sunny, dry rock.
