When someone asked me recently what I'm into I didn't have answers. Existential crisis aside, what are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?

I really like this idea both for it's practically (I live next to a large climbing gym) and for it's physical benefits. However, I'm pretty afraid of heights. So it'll depend on how willing I am to confront that fear.

If they have a bouldering section, that can be good way to get used to the movements without really getting high off the ground!

I was afraid of heights as well when I started climbing – to the point where I was scared of looking out of windows above a certain height. It's still something I have to deal with (especially when I go lead climbing), but it's gotten better the more I've climbed! It's usually pretty affordable to do an intro course or a day pass and try it out just once, that'll let you know whether you enjoy it enough to push through the fear.
