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

    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.

      Depends on the gym. There is boldering (no rope) you do that completely solo. Some gyms also have auto-belay which is with a rope rope but you don’t need a buddy. A lot of gyms have meet-up groups. It is a full body workout so I recommend giving it a try on a day you don’t have much planned the next day, that’s all. I did most of my climbing solo to be honest.
