False, Dad took me camping, that shit sucked. I was a boy scout for 5 years, hated everything except shooting and swimming. I'm an urbanite to my core, I can't help it.
Why does hiking scare Jow Forums so much?
I've heard of Brasstown bald. I went to high school in North GA.
Lumpkin or Forsyth?
fugg I can't wait to get into mountaineering. Been sport climbing for a few years now, gonna start to trad it up this summer. Hoping to feel comfortable going on 2week long mountaineering expeditions with my homies in a few summers, shit looks fun
Rabun gap. Faggy private school
This is the highest hill in my immediate vicinity. It's really not high enough to be considered a "hike".

Dude Cliff bars and honey stinger. Calorie bricks
I'd wait until you have the money for decent gear.
You can throw together a 10 essentials kit for pretty cheap but getting to any good (non normie) trails takes internal combustion.
Alternatively there's nothing preventing you from doing urban hiking, just walk instead of taking the train across the city.
