Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded

I went rock climbing yesterday, only a fraction of people than usual. I assume they were all hung over from the other day

Rock climbers and boulderers are a different breed.

What region of the world are you in if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve noticed that some people refer to bouldering as separate from rock climbing rather than as a subcategory.

West eu. Not just treating it as such, it really is. In my country there are more boulder gyms than full on rock climbing gyms

I think there’s usually going to be more bouldering gyms just because they’re easier to build.
In general over here in the western US we’ll use rock climbing to refer to both. Usually we’ll just say sport climbing, top rope, lead, to refer to rope climbs.
