Transitioning From Climbing to the Outdoors

I imagine it must be quite overwhelming to kind of suddenly just be relying on nature in a way you weren't when you were starting out. And I think that there's this huge bridge that continues to need to be built with a stronger foundation of gym to outdoors because over 80% of climbers who climb inside actually don't climb outside. For me, I was pretty lucky to have this community that I grew up with within my climbing gym team program of basically like a ragtag crew of kids from the DC metro area that were all into climbing.
