Discovered bouldering in my forties, after neglecting my body for years.
Fantastic sport, I'm stronger, fitter, and more flexible than I've ever been. It's fun, social, relatively cheap, and way less of a grind than the gym.
On the subject of gatekeeping in the climbing community there's also the minor issue of getting threatened with violence by locals when trying to document routes.

Until now all of that information has been kept being gatekeeped applications (mountainproject, theCrag, 8a.nu, ...)
But as usual the real issue will be to get people to use it. The network effect is everything
