🧗‍♀️Checked out the biggest climbing gym in the US 🇺🇸

Finally made it to Pacific Pipe — officially the biggest climbing gym in the US! Some say Asia’s largest gym (Rock Hour in China) is big, but nope… this one’s bigger 😤 It’s in Oakland, Bay Area — super spacious and super well-designed: • 1st floor has two top rope areas, a massive bouldering section, plus machines & warm-up zones • 2nd floor has moonboard, K-board, more bouldering, and even a top rope wall just for kids The rainbow colors all over the place? Just makes everything feel more fun 🌈 (Pics don’t do it justice but you get the vibe) Also — members can bring a friend to climb for free every month! Love that. It was busy on the weekend but honestly, climbing really is a mainstream sport here in the US. Even saw people doing outdoor climbs at the beach later in the day 😮 #sport #climbing #focusedenergy

Suddenly, I’m Actually a Climbing Coach?

Went to Mellow gym to set routes with friends. Didn’t expect climbing to hit me this hard. Grad school’s not too late to fall in love, huh? Work this week was tiring, but being off my phone felt great. I used to worry turning a hobby into work would kill the fun, but honestly, it’s only getting better. Know every route so well now, and climbing them again hits different. Setting routes together, chatting climbing, grabbing food after—this vibe is just so real. Can’t help but say, “This is awesome.” Never thought I’d actually do this for a living. People ask if it’s a waste of my degree—I don’t have an answer. But no regrets here. Love the feeling after finishing a route, love the people—so genuine and passionate. Climbing makes me better and gives me friends. Maybe it’s just meant to be. If you’re lost on what sport to try, climbing’s definitely worth it. #sport #climbing #mywork
