Rock Climbing
Climb indoor walls or real rock, solo or with a partner.
Indoor climbing gyms rent all the gear you need for a first visit, and bouldering (climbing without ropes, over padded floors) is the easiest way to try it with zero commitment.
Getting started
Try a bouldering session at a gym first; it needs no rope skills or partner to start.
