I’m fat, but my girlfriend is skinny. We always thought lead climbing was not an option for us. She was terrified, rightly, of lead belaying me.

One parent has wanted to bring their kid climbing so this was a great way to introduce kids to the sport that otherwise would probably not take the chance on their own. And the kids are in their own climbing room so it was easy having them contained so they aren't running wild throughout the gym and stayed safe (birthday party logistics.) And how many times can you go to a swimming pool or rec center party. Thanks for a...
