		Casperin on May 15, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Hacker Hobbies? I used to do Capoeira too until I broke my wrist. My knees weren't too happy about it either. Now I do climbing (no, it's not as hard on the wrists). As much as I enjoyed Capoeira, I have to say, that I enjoy the whole "me vs the wall" aspect - especially bouldering. I suppose it's because I'm an introvert. :)

I found that climbing strengthened my wrists and reduced the nagging tendonitis I would get from using a mouse.

Bouldering is unique because while some people do it alone, others consider it the most social form of climbing.
