I would definitely prefer to go to a gym, but I get kinda down when the weather is not good so I prefer to go to the movies or something.

i throw tirades at all who love me. if that's not enough, i step outside and shake my fist at the pissy sky and vow never to have anything to do with "the outside" ever again. then step back inside, slam shut the door and fume some more
seriously though, i'd just go out to my carport and uncoil and recoil my rope over and over, flexing the forearms more than i have to, with a few cams strategically scattered about my feet, making like a total rock climbing stud so that if this one neighbor chick might happen by and see, she couldn't help but want me more

Local gym, you can pay 70 pesos to have a full day in Extremo, or even pay 400 for a entire month. ;) there are other gyms out there, but Ive never visited those. I can take you to la pared del tec, but is an outdoor gym, so it depends on the weather still better cause its free jeje :twisted:

Get a crag rotation. Different crags have different weather conditions at different times of the year.
Or go to the gym.

Go climbing anyway, and just play "make believe"
* freezing/cold/snowing - training for Himalaya
* rain - training for when I get stuck on a wall in crappy weather
* wind - who cares about wind (see also "rain")
* thunder/lightning - screwed - bail
* hellfire and brimstone - get all the way to the top and do a swan dive - we are all screwed anyway, might as well go out in style
