Why buy something solely for the climbing gym?

By Josh Ranked #268 - Belay and Rappel Devices June 14, 2009

Those climbing shoes you bought work fine in the gym, in cracks, and on faces. That harness is safe both indoors and outside. So why buy something so limiting, as is the ATC-sport? If you climb (anywhere inside or out), someday you're going to want to rappel, and if you have this thing, you're going to be kicking yourself!
