Abstract
When it comes to getting through the Covid-19 pandemic with our spirits intact, one consistent message we’re hearing from healthcare professionals is that being outdoors can have lots of positive effects. There are those among you who may know I am a keen rock climber (Wood, 2016; Wood and Brown, 2014). With a few extra precautions, most climbers in England, at any rate, have been able to get out and enjoy the sport we love and feel some semblance of “normal”.
