Hmm, It does take time to accually get outdoors to the crag. Noramlly for me that means a half hour to an hour drive then maybe a half hour to 45min walk in. It doesn't bother me too much (When I used to live with my parents and it was at least half hour dive to an hour to get anywhere, and I like the hike), but if you go out then you should be prepared to commit the day to it.

How about bouldering? Some times the areas are more accessable and there's no time committed to getting ropes set up. When I go craging I'll take the day, bouldering I don't want to be climbing for more than a few hours.

Hope that you get out soon, I recommend going out doors at least once before the summer ends to see what it's like. Good luck and crank hard.
