Title: Rock Climbing/ Bouldering
Post by: A_Realbro on April 12, 2021, 08:24:19 pm
I really like rock climbing and bouldering. For those who dont know the difference, rock climbing is having an attachment and bouldering is just free climbing. Of course for nudists bouldering is way better but since I dont have access to nude climbing walls Im fine with either one! What do you guys think of bouldering/rock climbing?

I love climbing! I've been bouldering for some time, and have been thinking to join a gym that offers an (outdoor) top roping climbing wall as well. Once gyms re-open I'll have to give this a try.

Great to see someone who shares my interest! Have you been able to do it nude at all? Im not sure if nude bouldering exists but if it does ill be sure to try it if I ever get the opportunity!

I've been climbing for about a decade now, mostly indoor wall climbing. I've really missed it over the lockdown, I only really noticed how much I missed it when someone mentioned "rock-over" in a show I was watching. I can't wait to do some lead climbing after lockdown ends

Lockdown is really getting in the way sadly :(

I enjoy bouldering (indoor); I would not attempt nude, could scrape and cause some unexpected injuries.

I guess, depends on the wall and the ground below. If there is a soft mat then I think I would try it nude the only possible issue would be scraping but I think you would just have to be careful

Yeah, I'm lucky that I have Climbing grip trainers hanging from my stairs so I can at least get the feel of the holds, but damn I miss actually climbing

Hopefully lockdown will end soon!

I have always wanted to try rock climbing. The only I have done is climbing walls and some steep trails on hikes. During the winter on a hile we came across some climbers on a frozen waterfall. I was intrigued by it. This one is a small one but I have seen others climb large ones but this looks like a size to start

I’ve seen that kind of climbing before and it always looked pretty awesome to me. You should try more rock climbing, it’s really nice.

I definitely haven't been able to climb nude :p if given the chance to do it once, I might give it a try. I can imagine gripping some of the attachments would be slightly easier on bare feet. But, the chance of hurting yourself is so much bigger too. I don't think I've had a climbing session where I did not scrape a leg against the wall or accidently hit my foot on an attachment from a different route

Im usually pretty safe when climbing so I think I would be okay but you never know.
