I could climb every day if my body would allow it. Personally, When I was young I immediately became attached to the focus and strategy that is required to become a rock-climber. Today, I still find it relaxing to be so focused on a route or move or even one particular hand-hold, that I can't possibly think about anything else. Thoughts about work, or stresses in life  melt away during that moment.
