>>2340802>wants to climb a mountain>can't be bothered to train further than the local gymThe mountains are a lot tougher than anything you can do in a gym and you can't just say "thats enough for today I'm done" when you are on a mountain there is no dropping out of the race because it doesn't get any easier on the way down
