    Stand for 10 minutes.

    Now dead hang for 1 min.

    Surprise, your legs muscles are much bigger and much more powerful than your arms at defying gravity.

      I think the disconnect is, some go to the climbing gym to climb, others go to work out.

        Well, in my particular case, I wouldn’t go for the workout. I just find the rock-type climbing frustrating and relatively boring, while I find the tree-type climbing fun. So, even if I can only manage 1 minute of tree-type climbing at a time, that would be a sport, I’d actually enjoy doing.

            Never heard of those before, I don’t think. Although, a colleague recently shared pictures of a gym around here, which looks somewhat similar. Yeah, I might have to check out, if they have a more varied climbing offering.

              I’ve been to ones that have basically adult jungle gym stuff. I’m in the US and there are a few modeled after American ninja warrior the TV show
