Wonder if I can cut down the trainning process if I learn to tie a bowline while benching pressing.

Bouldering: This method consists of climbing small boulders without any equipment. Basically, it's like hiking with some obstacles thrown in.

Classic. I love it.

now I know where all the noobs get the word 'grips' from. They are always in the gym talking about the 'pink grip' or the 'big green grip' and I always have to laugh.... Holds people!! HOLDS!!!

A gripping thread to hold your attention...

A perfect example of how one toprope course can make someone an expert in their own mind.

“it's only a matter of time before you can be like Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger.”

A quick test to tell if someone you have just met is really a climber: Ask them if Cliffhanger was a drama or a comity.
There are a couple other moves you can substitute when testing the younger crowd.
