Nobody mentioning rock climbing? Come on, I bet half of Hacker News partakes in it
It’s the rock climbing. See my comment here:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32616371
Rock climbing renders it useless as well
I see a climber's mindset in action here.
The thing with rock climbing is that it is not just "excercise". It's a hobby, it's fun for those of us that do it. (And if it isn't fun, why are you doing it?). I don't climb to stay fit, I climb because I enjoy it, because it is a challenge. I have a fear of heights, so I get a huge adrenaline rush when climbing. There is nothing like abusing your fears to produce thrill ;)
Some people climb very dangerous mountains while only being attached to a small claw, if they even have one.
One doesn’t learn rock climbing to step over a brick, man.
It's a bit like saying that having to climb mountains is a problem when you choose to be a mountain climber.
I'm not criticizing. I'd like to understand what might make climbing a tall rock worth losing my life.
You can wear them off if you really care. Use rock climbing as an excuse.
