I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

    It’s pretty easy to get started if you have a gym nearby and a little disposable income. They pretty much teach you everything and you can rent gear for a day. Over 30, you’re gonna want to take the next day off.

      I sometimes consider taking the next day off after garbage day. Is it pretty common for people to go climb in the gym solo? I want something I can spontaneously do without having to make plans with a buddy

        Never gone to a top rope gym, but bouldering gyms you can definitely go to alone. It’s just climbing without ropes, but not very high and with spongy mats.

          With my luck I think I’m more comfortable with a top rope wall so I don’t somehow break my ribs and puncture all my organs like a very varied shish kebab
