For your entertainment I have created a list of things in climbing gyms that transcend oceans:

• the really buff chick/dude who can climb everything and makes you want to quit and get stronger at the same time 
• the older gentlemen who rocks some serious old-school style and gear
• the newbies who are impressed by everything
• the climbing couple
• the awkward three-some
• the intense stretcher
• the incredibly attractive climber who always happens to notice when you fall off a v1

The really muscular guy who thinks climbing is easy and can’t rainbow route an under-vertical wall.

The team climbing kids that are 12 years old and climb way harder than you.

The hippies that haven’t showered in 3 days.

The guy who climbs with a ton of draws, an ATC, a gri gri, a PAS, and 3 slings attached to his harness — even though he’s on top rope.
