My membership is like $70.

I think I added up all my gear a like 4 years ago and it was like $1200 for outdoor bouldering and top rope mainly. I think I'm going the have to retire my harness and ropes this year so that will be another ~$250 or so "maintenance cost"

    No, bouldering is pretty cheap! Like shoes, chalk, and a $200 mat and you're good to go!

    It's all the caribiners ropes, nuts, slings, and cams that add up for outdoor top rope

    Ah my brain seemed to have skipped the second half of that sentence mentioning top rope. Yeah, that's still a shocker for me though. A rope is a few hundred and I didn't realize nuts and slings were used
