But only if you climb v7 or above

u/[deleted] May 05 '24

How about just monkey bars all over the ceiling? That way you can kick your shoes off, climb on over, do your business and climb on back. Or you slip, fall on a piss covered floor and concuss yourself. Either or.

Came here to make sure someone had said this because if I went to the bathroom at the end of a session and saw someone taking a leak in their TC pros I think I’d have to go home and boil my hands. And you know someone is doing that…

u/CrimsonMutt May 05 '24

my gym has a sign in the bathroom saying "no washing of shoes or feet in the sinks"

someone must have tried it for them to explicitly ban it

u/remarkable_sct May 05 '24

Yes, have you met climbers?

209

u/ChefInsano May 05 '24

I just know that the best of them lives in a van and pisses in bottles. I think climbers are like bassists, if they’re not living with a girlfriend they’re essentially homeless.

Fark. I just pointed out to my husband that he was a bassist, climber and DJ when we married and he moved into my house. It's only taken me 25 years to realise his game plan. He even got Kiwi residency out of me. Still climbing. 😈

There's showers. I saw a lady holding her feet up to the hand dryer to blow dry her feet after she had washed them in the sink. And then complained that they don't stay on long enough to fully dry a foot.

There's. Showers. And towels.

Bathroom ones are probably less dirty because it's more intuitive to periodically disinfect surfaces in the bathroom vs. the holds on the climbing walls. Of course, depends on the hygenic practices of the establishment, but just speaking generally.

What's crazy about this to me is that usually public bathrooms are unsanitary because of people just not caring and being more gross than they need to be. In this case, I can't think of any way to use this where it doesn't get filthy, even if the person using it was being as careful as possible.
