My local gym is crazy expensive and it's why i don't climb: ~$70/mo
Damn, yeah seems like my gym is the cheapest I can possibly find ($30/mo)
I pay about 70€ a month for gym memberships, and maybe 50-100€ per year for shoes/resoling. Maybe add in 50-100€ per year for random gear, as I'm still building up my inventory
Gym membership is ~93 a month which is very high but we have two gyms with a third location opening next year so you are getting a lot for the money including free classes (yoga, weightlifting etc) at one of the locations.
Gear wise I buy a pair of shoes every 18 months or so. Scarpa vapor v, won’t wear anything else. Those are around 200. Plus a bag of chalk every so often so another few bucks.
I have all the gear I'll need for a long time because I'm not trying to do new things, just enjoying climbing when I get to go.
The local bouldering gym allows you to buy entry passes in bulk, so I don't have a monthly fee.
The entry passes stack up like crazy though
Bouldering
45€ on membership, and then maybe 30€ per year for resoling and 8€ per year for chalk. I have 2 pairs of identical shoes (scarpa instinct vs) that im pretty happy with, so i think the only thing i might get in the next year is some durable sport clothing (recommendations?)
Idk man, don't ask me, I just wear jeans and thick pants. Possibly stuff you wear hiking would be good?
Please note that these moderation rules serve as a general framework and can be tailored and expanded upon based on the specific needs and nature of the climbing community.
Rock climbing is an inherently risky and dangerous activity. Participants engage in climbing at their own risk and should ensure they possess the necessary skills, experience, and equipment to mitigate potential hazards.
