How do I (24M) go about asking this girl (22F) out (again)?

There’s a girl I’ve been climbing with at the gym regularly for nearly a couple years with now. We are friends, but don’t ever hang out outside of the gym. Several months ago I asked her out in person, she said she wasn’t sure and ultimately texted me that it “sounded like a date and she can’t do that” and “wasnt in a place to hang out with anyone like that”. I did hear that she had broken up with a boyfriend maybe a few weeks before this, perhaps I asked too soon? I didn’t really question any further, but I feel like I’ve been left hanging a bit- was it me? Or would she be interested in the future? We get along really well and I am still curious if she’d be interested? How do I go about asking her out again if this is even a good idea?
