Physical and mental challenge. Better than doing curls in a gym and with problem solving (gear and just reading the climb). Learning about ropes, gravity and fall factors and such stuff. Keeping your fear in check and head in gear on the hard stuff. Lazily oozing up stuff when it is all working right. Chipping away and calling it good training when it is not. Meeting some well good people from all walks of life and having plenty of stories to tell (and beer to drink) later around the camp fire ('cept in summer). For those that like it, bush-walking for no extra cost. Giving you something to think about in the slow bits when you are snookered into a church visit (wedding, funerals etc) - wondering whether you could climb sections of wall etc.
