Take a 5 Hour Energy and you’d be able to blast through this climbing class 60 times. You’re sure to be a pro by then. Patrons at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune can learn how to rock climb at the Courthouse Bay Fitness Center in one five minute class. After that they’re free to climb as much as they please. I wonder who their insurance company is? I hope the class takes 10 seconds of the five minute class to point out that it’s not wise to try to take your shirt off while belaying someone. Man, five minutes? I’ve wasted so many years of my life learning to climb safely. The Base Camp uses an auto belay system. I can’t imagine how often those things go screaming towards the roof with no one attached, and how often people sit at the top for 20 minutes before gaining the comfort to let go and ride on down.
