I've found that it's really easy just to talk to people there, and all that anyone talks about is climbing so you never have to worry.

It's better than cave diving.

>A twenty-year-old undergraduate studying philosophy at Balliol College, Oxford, Moss became jammed underground, 1,000 feet from the entrance after descending a narrow unexplored shaft in Peak Cavern, a famous cave system in Castleton in Derbyshire. Initial attempts to haul him free failed because the rope broke several times. When he lost consciousness as carbon dioxide from his own respiration built up in the base of the shaft, he was unable to assist further rescue attempts made with a stronger rope. More rescue efforts were made: June Bailey gave up after six hours, "driven back by foul air," and caving veteran Bob Leakey, in a frogman suit, could not get to him. He never regained consciousness and was declared dead on the morning of Tuesday, March 24, after the final rescue attempt had failed.

Why would I want to climb a rock?

It's a good workout, I find that I have much more motivation for it than just lifting. In other workouts you make the challenge for yourself, and in rock climbing other people make it for you.

I might look for a rock climbing gym just cuz it seems like an easy way to get FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH and leave the house.
