Swizzy Trip Wrap-up

Last stop on our Switzerland trip: B2 Boulders and Bar, the best climbing gym EVER! With a flight scheduled out of Basel, the decision was made that we MUST do a session in “the best climbing gym in Switzerland,” B2. And so we did. For those of us climbers that have been at it for 20+ years now, we likely all remember fondly those early gym days. Plywood walls, late 90’s / early 2000’s techno music thumping, people working problems together and actually having conversations (no stupid earbuds!), climbs that flow like real climbs do outdoors on real boulders (no stupid acro-yoga-parkour-circus b.s. moves!), and people just climbing (not obsessing over their prescribed limit-bouldering training workout). This gym delivered on all fronts. We climbed our hearts out, smiling nonstop. And the kids thought it was even pretty cool too. Old-school rules!

An excellent finish to an excellent trip.
