Rock climbing. A few years back my friends and I signed up for memberships at a local climbing gym. It was awesome because not only was it incredibly fun, it also helped me stay in shape/condition for other activities I do throughout the year. Over time our schedules rarely lined up and we weren't able to climb together, but luckily the climbing community is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I'd show up solo with my harness + other gear, look for groups that had an odd number of people, and ask if I could join so that everyone was either belaying or climbing rather than just waiting for their turn. A lot of good things came from this: -When COVID hit I cancelled my gym membership but now have a group of friends that climb outdoors regularly. I had never done outdoor climbing before but now I'd take that over a gym any day (although I am excited for when this COVID stuff is over for good). -One of people I climb with is really into surfing and introduced me to one of my now favorite surf spots. -Another person I climb with is an avid snowboarder and I met up with her a bunch of times to go ride this past season. -If I ever find myself in Asheville, NC or Bend, OR I have a place to stay. |
