someone who spends all leisure time playing sports or working out in a gymnasium or health spa
Formerly a derisive term applied to those that climb predominantly indoors and train intensively. Now the term has mellowed, and is even embraced by many self-effacing indoor climbers, especially since (a) training has made them better climbers and (b) running routes inside on a rainy afternoon beats waiting out a cold bivy in the sleet any day.
One of many usually colorful terms for persons who believe they know climbing because they climb in gyms but neither know nor trust anchors and protection outside of a gri-gri.
