Not sure if this is the best comm for this post, but it really hit home with me, and is getting some good discussion in my circles.

    This is true. I've never been big into rock climbing, but I have some friends who are and I live in an area with a handful of natural walls not too far away, so all of my experience has been pretty cheap. But your point on club dues and the extra social outings is fair. I don't have much experience living outside the rural/suburban parts of the Midwest, so I forget that folks will find ways to make their social groups even more exclusive.
