StreetBoss Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Dude - the climbing gym is a gross place. You seen folks putting their stinky ass feet all over the place. Just plain gross. Then they take their climbng shoes off and rub their feet and try to shake your hand. Uggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmatt Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I always make sure to wash my hands really well before I leave the rock gym. Everytime I don't, I seem to get sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 One of the unheralded risks associated with the gyms that have pea gravel for landing pads: Silica dust is realeased en massa into the air. Silica has been called the "new" Asbestos for lung disease and carcinoma. Fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Didja see that guy sneeze all over the holds on that route just before you climbed it? And right afterwards you rubbed the sweat outa your eyes and ate some candy, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Stone Gardens plans to do away with pea gravel and go with foam. It will be much more hygienic, but I predict more sprained ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 yup...just goes to show that those portland folks are just plain nasty and gross... Â Your reading comprehension needs some work. Joseph was NOT the original poster, he was cross-posting for someone else. If you read the entire thread you'll note that the original poster chimed in--and she is in Boston. Â Not that gyms aren't nasty of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Stone Gardens plans to do away with pea gravel and go with foam. It will be much more hygienic, but I predict more sprained ankles. Edgeworks in Tacoma used to have the pea gravel and changed over to foam a few months ago. I think most everyone approves of the change. It was really dusty with the gravel and all the boulderers had gravel patterns imprinted on their butts! (I was going to put the mooning emoticon there, but it seems to have been done away with!)

kevbone Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 shut up and climb, you sound like a bunch of bitches  I’m going to have to agree with this poster. STFU and climb. Jesus you all sound like a bunch of silly wanking beyoches. Gyms help with training, and as much bitching is done on this silly nilly RuMr thread, YOU ALL GO TO THE GYM AND CLIMB.

StreetBoss Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yes we all go to the gym, however you dont have to be a disgusting pig. How many times have climbers gone to the bathroom and NOT washed their hands? I see every time I go. Gross. Stop touching your stinky feet. The gym is a training facility not your living room.
