Rock climbing is not an easy thing to explain to people. Some might say it’s a sport where you climb rocks and that’s it. However, I don’t think it’s that simple. There is far more going on in the climbing world than meets the eye. For example, why are there so many shirtless dudes? Why does every climber drive a Subaru? Why does everyone have tape all over their bodies? Why do converted vans cost as much as a house in the Midwest? It’s all so complicated and confusing.
I was just as confused as anybody else with the lifestyle, so I decided to make a well-researched video about it. This is rock climbing explained with stock footage. Hopefully, it’ll leave you with more questions than answers.
