It would be better for you to take up creative writing.

Depends on what you want to train for. You didn't give much of a background so don't expect many useful answers.

At your local gym? Bouldering for sure.

On the other hand, in the spirit of not trolling you and assuming you don't respond to this thread (unless you get really angry about the resulting silly answers to your ultra vague query)...you could do both. Recently I started doing both. Previously, just roped climbing or traverses. But bouldering is a lot more challenging (MY local gym has a small but difficult bouldering area). My prob. with bouldering has been that I am now an old biddy in my 30's and my joints hurt, dude. So I've avoided bouldering until recently. But new plan is once a week boulder, once a week roped climb/traverse, once a week hangboard. This is obviously a TL/DR, but I felt like typing it out anyway.
Happy bouldering!

I think you might be confused about the definition of trolling.

First you should give a more detailed history and your plans. Then you should PM me your name, birthday, social security number, a picture of your credit card front and back, and your mother's maiden name.
