But after finding my rhythm and dragging my husband into it, we bonded more closely with friends of ours who climb outdoors a lot, and they took us out to Yosemite and Lake Tahoe and other beautiful climbing spots. I went back as often as possible until I injured myself and learned that going all the time is probably not a great idea. As soon as I did my first boulder problem, I knew I'd be a climber for life. There was a tiny climbing gym near my workplace in Pittsburgh, PA, and a Groupon available, so I tried it out. I first started climbing back in 2017 because I was lonely and wanted to find a hobby for myself. The only problem is, writing is a very lonely profession, and I don't interact with people as much as I used to! So if there are any DS fans in San Francisco who'd like to hang out, let me know! How did you start climbing? I used to be a physicist/tech worker, but now I'm a writer! It took me a while to realize that I was going in the wrong direction, but now it's full speed ahead. I'm Jen, lover of all things weird, nerdy, and adorable. To start, tell us a little bit about yourself
