I got pissy once when I went to my climbing gym after work to burn, only to be delayed/waylaid/interrupted by a ton of active screaming kids around 10-12 at a birthday party bash thing. I was getting frustrated and annoyed... ...and then my buddy (with a kid around their age) commented that it was good to see so many kids actually active and enjoying moving their bodies, so many of his kid's friends are inactive game junkies, it seems. Totally humbled my ass and put it all in perspective. The kids were not being intentionally disruptive or assholes, I was just ticked that I had to wait an extra minute or two to go up a wall or hit sections of the bouldering wall. Fuck that, totally changed my attitude: Made sure to watch over them a bit so that they were safe, making sure they didn't run around near the hardcore couple going up a 5.9, and racing a few kids to the top of the bouldering wall. And sure a few "Hey make sure to wipe your hands off before climbing" chides to kids running over after getting a slice. Boys and girls of all shapes and sizes (no obeasts), just excited to be moving their bodies in a colorful and challenging environment. I was an asshole for being "damn kids, I can't get on that 5.7 (fucking underranked, at least a 5.8 if not 5.9, oh yes I will fucking conquer you, you liar 5.7) for another 40 seconds...", and when I realized that this around me was exactly the world I wanted to see, I started helping and encouraging them (and still got in some serious climb). It was good to see. I like lifting, but as a tech guy, the climbing combination of "working out a puzzle in your head (which holds/techniques to use to make it up)"; then "applying your body to attempt to meet the goals/strategy set in your head" is awesome... it's like the physical version of writing a shell script then executing it properly for the first time, or playing a few rounds of Civ...
