There's a local climbing gym here and I've always been tempted to go, but I just don't have the time (or money) for an additional hobby.
*tempts*
Bouldering is cheap! You just need shoes and chalk (and a pass to the climbing gym)!
Plus, there's always the possibility that I'd get to the top of the wall and then cry like a little girl at the prospect of getting back down again.
Well, if it's a regular climbing gym (rather than bouldering-specific), the way you get down is by being lowered on your rope while you sit comfortably in your harness, so that's the low-stress bit *g*.
Seriously, if you're at all interested or curious, I recommend disobey_gravity, which is also full of novices and very welcoming.
