I can't post this in r/climbing, and I didn't know where else to post it, so sorry if this doesn't belong here.

I've been climbing once since quarantine started, and beyond that I've had a surgery that caused me to lose a lot of weight. Because of this, I've lost all my muscle tone.

At the beginning of quarantine I was regularly using my hang board and pull-up bar, but I slowly realized that I don't care much to do those things if I can't use them for anything. I liked being fit, but it was more of a nice side effect of climbing rather than the goal of climbing. Climbing was my favourite thing ever not so long ago. It was my go to for recreation and stress relief, and now when I'm more stressed than I've ever been in a long time, I can't do it anymore.

Gyms have reopened here in Canada, and I went once, but it was such an uncomfortable situation that I couldn't bring myself to go again, especially with the cases on the rise again here. Climbing was more than a sport or a form of activity, too. It was an amazing social experience where you could connect with strangers and problem solve or just shoot the shit together, it was like a home away from home. Now it's so barren and isolated. And the whole situation made me uncomfortable.

I'm a bit at a loss here. What do I do going in to winter? I have a feeling gyms will be closing in my province again soon, and with cases on the rise I don't know that I'm comfortable going in even if they don't.

What have other people been doing to cope? How can I get a least a little bit of the thing I loved so much back in to my life?
