I’ll start. I have recently gotten into 3D printing, and, while incredibly frustrating sometimes, there’s nothing more rewarding than getting a perfect print.

Not sure if it’s niche: Bouldering. It’s such a great sport and comes really natural to us, like running or swimming. It provides a full body workout without feeling like a workout. It makes you quite strong without feeling like repetitive or dull. The community is very nice and positive.
It’s pretty popular among my fellow students here, but I’d agree that it may be pretty niche overall.
I heard that you do races as well, although that was from my very unreliable friend, so it’s probably all just balderdash
Yeah that’s pretty much balderdash (like that word). Never did a bouldering race before or seen one, and I’ve been doing this sport since 7 years.
But there’s speed climbing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RZ5RiaMFYI
Most climbers belittle it, but it’s really entertaining to watch.

I want to start working out again without going to a Gym. There is a climbing Gym close to where I live and I need to check it out. How did you start do you recommend taking classes? Any gear I need to buy?
For bouldering all you need is a pair of shoes and a chalk-bucket! :) if there is an intro class, I would definitely recommend that, otherwise just bring some friends and have fun!
