Oh yeah, and gratefully go climb :)
As rock climbers there is inherent risk and challenge-seeking we are privileged to be able to SAVOR that all but a small percentage of non-white America does not have means to afford. If you are challenged with SURVIVAL and proving your right to exist, the proposition of rock climbing seems silly. Just a reminder that the glitzy gyms and e zines we read are very glazed grazed and protected by smiling fangs. Still very much a White Man and Woman's fraternity and sorority. 1% of climbers is Black. I don’t need to be shown a seat or a table or be given a platform to “take over.”
That is all.

here’s less heavy-to-digest fare; the world is a gym ...
