Quite honestly, yes he did. As a young teenager, I started climbing because of Spider-Man. And climbing became my meditation and therapy for a while. I had lots of fun climbing, and I miss it dearly.

Whats preventing you from going to a climbing gym? (Except for maybe money, health, time or existence of nearby gym)

At some point I decided to quit climbing. I realized I had too many thing I wanted to do and become good at, and not enough time to dedicate to them all. And climbing had become this thing where every time I stopped for a while, it kept getting harder to get back to the same level I was before stopping. So I stopped completely.

I see, i can imagine it might go like that for me eventually. For me so far the social aspect of it just kept me going when i wasnt motivated. I hope you found other things that you enjoy. :)
