Got a membership at my local bouldering gym about 2 years ago, have been going fairly consistently (3-4, sometimes 5 days a week)and fell in love with it. Definitely a fun offseason thing that keeps me in shape. Was just curious as to how many other skiers choose climbing as their offseason, or even during season pastime. Feel free to drop pics of your gym or cool sends you've got!

I used to be into mountain biking to replace skiing but kept injuring myself or my wallet before ski season, rock is the way to go. love playing with rope systems.

Looking for a climbing buddy this summer in Summit county

Hell yeah. Been back to the gym a decent amount recently. Training for outdoor.


Got a quad rack and lots of opportunity around my area. Id put climbing tied with skiing for my hobbies. Lucky they are opposite seasons

Haven't been around too much outdoor, couple v2's-v3's here and there, but I'm hoping to get out a ton next summer. It just recently became top of the list (with skiing of course) for me as well. It's way too much fun.

From 2006 to 2012, I was a fully commited climber: climbing 6 days a week, working at a gym, teaching and guiding, route setter at the local gym… kinda did it all! I sure miss those days. My job took over my summer and climbing wasnt as available where I moved.

I still climb on occasion to keep my skills refreshed. Got a few friends that climb now, so I go a few more times a year.

I try to incorporate my rock climbing skills to big mountain skiing. Some lines require ropes to safely get there. Maybe Ill need a rope to get myself out of trouble in a big line… and self confidence. You have to believe in yourself!

Here's a couple pics from my first night multi-pitch. Def have been trying to do more outdoor stuff, just bought ice climbing boots off my buddy.

Off-season climbing slaps even tho the skills don't translate super well into skiing.

love bouldering, hate roped climbing but that’s because if I fall I’d rather just die

there’s a ton of amazing spots around tahoe, specifically north lake/donner area. I was hungover, desperate, and trying to impress some guy a couple years ago and ended up free soloing a 30ft crack climb off donner pass but I don’t plan on being that cool or dumb again.
