Outside is where it’s at - indoor is a good workout but hard to call it rock climbing rather just a rough facsimile of it. Being out in nature, cracking a beer and/or hitting the pen, and climbing is on a completely different level from the gym. It’s still super safe assuming you’re doing sport and the accidents like the one you quoted are rare. Driving to the gym or crag is far more dangerous





That wasn’t my intention, rather just encouraging you and others to try climbing outside (with others who have experience)! It’s so much fun
