the art of rock climbing and motorcylce travel
As I am trying to stuff all my gear into a couple of panniers for my travel through Latin America up through to Canada next year I continue to look wistfully at all my rock climbing gear...
I'm not really good at it but it is one of my favourite past times. Definitely no room for all of it (20+ kgs in a large back pack) but I wonder if I'll be able to squeeze in my climbing shoes and maybe even my harness, but maybe it would just be a waste of time/space. There will be plenty of other rocks/cliffs to climb when I finish my trip i suppose and I will be filling my time with many other things but what about all those great climbing spots I might ride by. Will I be able to resist??
Any thoughts or experiences from others? (I realise rock climbing isn't such a popular sport so if you don't climb you will probably find it hard to respond to this thread, but if you want to go off on a tangent that's fine with me...)
