We are The People United Against Climbing (TPUAC). Together, we will end this epidemic.

hey, you!
get down from there, you look ridiculous.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of rocks are ripped from the hands of otters and geologists and glued onto a wall so that the privileged 1% can scurry all over it. Well we say, enough of that. Join the movement to stop climbing today.

Why has climbing become so popular? I remember rock climbing in like summer camp in middle school, why are you doing this as a grown adult? Big Climb (REI) is controlling your mind. What's next? Competitive hopscotch? Relatedly, what's the deal with pickleball, it's literally made for old people. How about we do real sports for adults, not activities for the children and the elderly.

Sign our petition to stop climbers today.

resources to help when you or a loved one cannot stop climbing

affirmations:

- I am a (wo)man not a bug, I do not need to climb the walls
- The floor is not lava, there is no need to stay away from it
- The floor cannot hurt me (unless I am actively falling towards it after climbing it actually)

tricks to break your climbing addiction:

- talk to a trusted friend/family member about your climbing problem
- cover your hands in grease so you're too slippery to grip onto the little rocks
- smoke a cigarette to take the edge off

i think this is pretty self-explanatory, don't you?
