layman can see me climbing some easy overhang in the gym (say 5c) in amazement, but it's basically a series of pullups with some stamina required (yeah, I am not a very good climber). on real rock with similar surface angle, or on some proper route I wouldn't last there for 2 seconds
- markatkinson 10y agoI started indoor climbing about 3-4 months back as there is a gym nearby and I go with one of our devs. My goodness what an amazingly functional sport. I have such immense respect and awe for those people that can climb such a flat surface. You really realise the insane grip strength and stamina they must have to be able to actually not fall off, let alone climb up. I am quite happy with my positive holds on a flat surface and indoors though. Youtube bouldering world championships for some insane athletes!
