I'm about 80% sure I'll keep at it. I had loads of fun and so did the mate I did it with (also first time). the place it went is pretty convenient too - 15 mins down the Bristol to bath bike path.
I'll probably do it again next week with hire shoes, then get some of those decathlon ones, if they're not total rubbish.
I found bouldering had a really encouraging learning curve. It took a couple of goes up an easy problem and then I was at a point where I could get into it and start challenging myself. Managed to make it up a couple of yellow (3rd easiest?) problems that took me a few tries - felt I'd achieved something rather than just floundering around getting to grips with a new sport for the whole session.
