HarryMy new favourite kind of escapism has come in the form of climbing (well, ‘bouldering’ to be precise) and as a former gymnast it suits me perfectly.
“So Harry! How did last night’s climbing session go?”
Me: “Yes”
Alex Marshall@harrybo93 There's just something about bouldering. It's the perfect blend of mental and physical activity imo.
Plus you get to fall and roll around on what is basically a giant mattress. So there's that too
@marsh931 Absolutely agreed! Quite a nice little social activity as well if you’ve got others that are interested!
I’m pretty good at the rolling around part, evidently.

BrakeOut Gaming@harrybo93 Don't y'all use belaying for climbing? Or is the idea that the walls don't go high enough to need it?
@brakeoutgaming Nah, people are disposable over here. 🤣
So we use ropes for climbing but you’re correct that in this case the idea is that the walls don’t go high enough. But this is bollocks. I used to see people all the time that fell off these and still managed tibia&fibia fractures, broken arms etc 😂
@harrybo93 Yeah, in Freedom countries, OSHA limits are something like "anti-fall devices required above 4ft unless otherwise protected." It's amazing they can get insurance!
@brakeoutgaming Ha! I can imagine 😂
JCMcHammy@harrybo93 Totally stuck that landing 😂 Was the attempt worth it?
