Only got properly into it during Covid. Out for walks more and more and a few friends said we should do longer and more difficult ones. I'd recommend it. Gives you a sense of achievement and you can never have enough hobbies imho. Also a great way of meeting new people. Groups are very informal and from all kinds of backgrounds and everyone helping everyone else. Climbing mountains is, dare I say it, uplifting. You should give it a go.
