The outdoors and the mountains just breed a different culture from my experience. Living out west I would go camping, hiking, climbing and I even got into mountaineering. Toronto doesn't really offer any of those to the same degree that you will find out west. I tried going outdoor climbing once up at Rattlesnake point and it didn't even compare to places like Smith Rock or Tieton. Being able to go jogging in the morning and seeing the Olympics or the Cascades was breathtaking. People out west are just generally more active and up for adventures outdoors.
- nahname 13y agoDo you generally do these activities solo?
- jacalulu 13y agoNo, I had a great group of friends in Seattle that I'd get outdoors with. Managed to find a climbing partner in Toronto but just stuck to the local climbing gym while there. Haven't had a chance to meet anyone in Mountain View yet who climbs (also haven't had a chance to do much else apart from work the past couple months). Hoping that will change soon and I'll be able to get back into some of these things.
