 You could make an exception. Climbing mountains is an incredible experience. You’re out in the open, surrounded by nature. Also, it’s good exercise.

 I’d rather just go to the gym if I want to exercise. It only takes an hour, and I feel pleasant and refreshed afterward.

 Yes, but the gym isn’t a real challenge. Climbing mountains forces you to push yourself to your limits.

 Maybe, but to me, it seems too unsafe.
