If it's for unwinding, as OP wanted, I'd recommend specifically indoor climbing.
There are three kinds basically: speed, lead, boulder. The best one is that which has the least commute for you. If multiple are accessible, start off with lead, then you can easily switch. Lead climbing is about two quite old-fashioned concepts: bravery and trust far more than about thinking (or anything else).
Also, that prevalent myth: arm strength is not a pre-requisite. Heck, I personally know climbers who cannot do even one strict pull-up and still lead decent routes.
- Delk 6y agoYeah, good point about unwinding. While still requiring concentration, indoor climbing is a lot more straightforward and requires less thinking. Top-roping might be even easier to get started with than lead climbing. You'll miss out on hanging outdoors, of course.
