Shouldn’t this thread be retitled The anarchists subversion thread?

Hmm. Covid 19 Affect on climbing? ... It has certainly distracted attention away from bolting and access issues if nothing else!

I reckon more than a few of us will start going stir crazy before it has run its course too.

If I was a boulderer I’d take the opportunity of home training to be strong as, and draw up a wishlist of projects to crush post C19; but I’m not, so will continue climbing at my modest level when allowed, and meantime spend my leisure time preparing for remote motorcycle tripping to deserts and other far flung places when opportunity arises; as that kind of logistical, physical and constructive distraction, plus having a dream to aim for, is good for morale.

To stay fit for the future while traveling is off the current agenda, I’m solo mountain biking in the local hills, and finding being outdoors relatively alone, along with the odd ride induced adrenaline surge, also beneficial for mind and body. This works as a local solution for me, and if climbing or surfing was closer to hand then I’d chase that solo too.
