Climb at Home People

As a busy guy that lives in a town where you cant get out to the big crags without at least a couple hours drive, it is important for me to climb as often as possible in order to improve my skills and maintain my overall sanity (lol). In order to achieve this I climb at my local gym. A local climbing gym brings with it a community of climbers. These are the folks that I want to recognize in my post today. A group of people that all share a common mentality, they are friendly and super accommodating to all that enter our tiny gym. In a time when being rude can almost seem as cavalier as people that drive trucks with 6 inch lifts (douche bags), this family of regulars has shattered all my misconceptions of my fellow man, or woman (hehe). If you would have told me that there were a group of people like these in my community a year ago, I would have sneered at the notion, therefore conforming to the attitudes of the people that I so often jeer about. In becoming apart of this climbing family I have began to adapt my own views of the world and how we should treat others. I firmly believe that if you surround yourself with positive people you yourself with be happier and become a more enjoyable person to be around. A product of your environment. So today here's to the regulars at the GPRC climbing wall. You guys rock! (pun intended).
