I have now been to a gym 3 times, this past time (3) was when I had had enough. The 2nd time I just got so pissed at ppl calling me a kid (I'm 15) and that I can't climb stylish b/c I don't have a beanie. So I grabbed my trad rack (only passive) and went to the gym about a week later. 2 of the rats were still there. They turned to me when I took out my gear (near 10 pounds worth) and said "hey dude whats that for" I responded "you wouldn't understand, It's a climbing thing" He paused for a secound and then replied "hey!" I then took all of my gear off (slung it up and took off the sling.) Then the guy repeated "hey, why you have that stuff." So I just simply said "if you had ever seen a rock you would know, now go grab your plastic." Nothing really happened but he didn't even look at me for the rest of the night (which I enjoyed fully.)
...
I'm sorry to all of you gym clowns reading this, but just know that you are all awful people... at life.

AH yes, another recurring theme on rc.com, so here's a recurring answer...WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT THEY THINK??? If you're in the gym to impress the gym rats, you're pathetic. If you're in the gym to get/stay fit, improve technique, etc. WHY DO YOU CARE what the beanie bums think? Climb hard, get a good pump, don't worry about idiots (as there are many, MANY you'll encounter everywhere). Snappy rejoinders are a definite plus, however, IF they don't fly right over the BBs heads...

I just think it's great that you brought a trad rack to a gym to show off, then topped that by bragging about it on the internet.
That's gotta win some kind of award.

I concur with Plund here, you are being a shallow little attention whore. Attempting to win over appeal with the token statement of
In reply to: The 2nd time I just got so pissed at ppl calling me a kid (I'm 15) and that I can't climb stylish b/c I don't have a beanie.
Yes, you are a hardass trad climber. Yes, you're better than all the gym rats. Yes, people are impressed that you take your rack to the gym.
Just not me, and I'm wagering, neither do most people on this site.
I'm sorry 'rockingnyc', but just know that you are an awful person
(Maybe next time you can bring in your GPS and show everyone how you're a 'real' hiker)

Dude, my momma can troll better than this guy. T1-, but a contrived sit start (all the bites) bumps it up to T6.

wow, settle down all. the kid is obveously still searching for his self image and the dirty dirty gym rats were being mean to him. cut him some slack. kinda funny that they didnt know what pro was for though. still don't understand why you took it to the gym though...unless it just happened to still be with all your climbing stuff from the last time you were outside

More bites, I bump it up to T7 now because of the sit-start and eliminating the obvious good sidepull...

i bet the 'rats' were just asking what he brought is pro for....i'm giving em the benefit of the doubt that they know what stoppers are for.
as for the kid, yeah, u are a kid especially to anyone over 20. enjoy being a kid while u are one. and i second they person who wrote that we should cut the kid some slack... in a few years, hopefully this'll become a funny story for his friends to laugh at over a campfire.

a kid will remain a kid till he's 18...
but to make it short, it's kinda lame to bring your whole set to show off...
just climb the routes they're having problems on and show them who's laughing now ! I mean, it's no problem being called a kid. No insult to it, i can see...

You might be a closet gym climber if:
*You care what gym climbers think of you.
*You try to impress gym climbers with your rack.
*You sware not to go back if they don't treat you nice.

okay, let me start off by saying that you being a kid really has nothing to do with the way you were treated. why do you care what they think anyways? if you are a good climber, just climb the problems they are having difficulties on and show them who's boss. i do however, think it was extremely immature of you to take all of your gear with you [even though it was pretty funny that they didn't know what it was].

WOAH!!! You brought a passive rack to a gym!!!!
Your almost as cool as those guys who carry around a brand new ATC-XP hangin off of a Petzl atche thats never been used and bring a new set of 10 petzl spirit draws racked on their harness and climb TR 5.8 all night long in between Beanie bashing sessions....
OH YEAH SHUT UP AND CLIMB!!!
Im surprised your dad let you bring his rack to the gym...
