I know the most common advice is to join local groups/clubs, but my town seems to only have religious, DnD, and MtG groups publicly posted, and as much as I’ve tried I just can’t get into playing DnD/MtG

Does anyone have any app recomendations they’ve had luck with, or other advice?

    I first thought it may be some of the common reasons or qualities possessed by the people that seek or find climbing, but it might also be what is learned through climbing… you build strength, practice trust, patience, safety, care, curiosity, likely an adventurous spirit. Usually attracts people that are generally interested in the outdoors or earth, which apparently are often just kind, open-minded individuals. Many people trying to find themselves or just better themselves. May just be going for stoke.

      this is precisely why i avoid climbers. they have this holier than thou mentality and act like anyone who doesn’t climb is some unenlightened fool and prattle on about how ‘superior’ they are for climbing. that is not an attitude i would call open minded.

      not to mention i’ve literallly been lectured by them about how stupid i was not for climbing or not being interested in it. ironically if i tried to tell them about mountain biking or my outdoor interests they would shut me down and just talk about their climbing epiphanies or something. rude af

        that’s pretty annoying and sounds like a shit experience but it does happen unfortunately. not everybody’s a self-righteous tool up their own ass

        have definitely been on the receiving end of such a rant or lecture really

        floating the thought of pedal assist to MTB people is enough to rustle some jimmies lmao
