I recently moved from a location where I was able to climb nearly every day to a location where I can climb maybe once or twice a month if I plan super far ahead. Any ideas on alternative disciplines or sports to satisfy a recently cliffless climber? I think what I love most about climbing (as well as the physicality) is the creativity involved.

Doing geometry homework while running short intervals? I'd like to know an answer myself.

Let's see, motorcycles, skydiving, skiing, kiteboarding, small sailboat racing, whitewater kayaking, that's about all I can think of.

For the creativity, maybe interpretive dance? That wouldn't seem to have the thrill factor or the satisfaction of having done something like you get when you get to the top though.

Paragliding maybe? Not nearly as physical though.

Mountain biking?

What the hell are you talking about?

You can find quality climbing in under an hour drive in virtually any direction, not to mention the gyms that are available as well.
