I don't see why it has to be one way or the other. aside from whole foods JWO (which is great!), I have yet to see a single grocery store that lacks checkout lanes. if you like that service, you're in luck! it's available pre

injuries come from pushing the limits of your skill and physical fitness. an aggressive climber is much more likely to get injured on a bouldering problem, but you can still mess up your hands crimping on a toprope route you haven't tr
