Bouldering/Climbing!
Love this sport. Everybody, whatever their level, does the same thing : Fail and try to outdo themselves.
It's difficult to go run with someone better than you, or play football because of the skills gap. I found that with climbing whatever your shape you can have the same kind of fun.
I also love the combination of body shape, technique, and thinking (how can I pass this, what does the route want me to do?). And because everybody is trying its hardest, I like that it creates group interaction on trying to solve a problem.
- LiamPa 8y ago+1 not sure if it was my uni but almost everyone I climbed with was an Engineer of some sort.
- jlengrand 8y agoAlso my experience! For some reason, most of the climbers (and for that matters, jugglers) I know have some kind of technical / high education related job. Most of the people I climb with are Phd, engineers or something. Not something I am actively searching for, but a pattern I have found. Having climbed in 4 countries, this pattern seems pretty consistent across Europe, interestingly.
