NoNo, funny thing is this thread caused me to say yes when a friend out of the blue asked me if I wanted to come climbing a few days ago. I almost said no, figuring it just wasn't worth the hassle, but then I thought I'd try my own advice. So we went out on some easy slabs. I deliberately didn't check the grade (difficulty rating), I just tied in and climbed and tried to notice details and enjoy it.
Mostly I noticed how much my feet hurt... ;-) So yesterday I went and bought new shoes!
