    If you like hiking, you might also enjoy indoor rock climbing. It’s more social and fun than a gym and you will have the opportunity to interact with a lot of the same people repeatedly. You might even have some beginners groups in you area to get started. Meetup.com is good for finding groups like that.

    Good luck out there!

      I actually did try rock climbing, my ex and I did it.

      I proposed going to first time we dated, she got into it while we were split, I would go a few times a month with her, and then basically haven’t been in a few months since we split.

      The climbing gym in my area is on the other side of town and just constantly PACKED and I was also never very good at it … plus I’m colorblind and the routes are color coded which makes it even trickier … so it’s not really my cup of tea.

      But yeah, I’ve done it probably 15 times or so and have my own shoes.

      I’ll probably give it another shot (this time with friends) once it gets cold again (I’m in NE Ohio).
