„I first climbed on an indoor wall in 1986, and I doubt Ive gone a month without climbing indoors since. In the past 26 years, Ive had some of my most memorable life experiences around indoor climbing. After training in Denver gyms and on a home woody that filled my basement, I redpointed the hardest rock climbs of my life. I courted both of my wives in the gym. (I should be clear: It was one after the other.) Ive also had two of my worst climbing injuries in the gym. I still climb indoors at least once a week, often several times a week. Yet I have a love-hate relationship with indoor climbing. Like many climbers, my heart is with real climbs on rock and ice, and on any given day, Id prefer to be outside. And this got me thinking: How could the gym experience be improved for outdoor-oriented climbers like me, so Ill be more likely to return week after week? I like the gym, but I want to love it…“
