PrsdntHeidecker 01/06/22 3:25:08 PM #10:	g980 posted... used to be an avid boulderer - climbed 3-4x a week for about 5 years. sweet spot was v5-v6 depending on the gym/style. did a bit of top roping outdoors, but it was so much work and a pain to find a partner sometimes. really no outdoor bouldering in the area, but i climbed what i could. it's fun, got me in pretty good shape. massive forearms before i stopped. Yeah the big obstacle for route climbing or multi pitch is a reliable partner. Some people are liabilities outside. I had a belayer mess up while I was lead climbing and slipped before making the second clip and it resulted in a ground fall. Managed to fall without injuring myself, somehow. I thank previous Judo training. He didn't catch me properly because he was screwing around with a camera. On the other end of the spectrum is people who freak out and can't second a route they should be able to because they get psyched out. But I feel like you need a larger crowd to safely boulder, because you need to consolidate crash pads. I'm not much of a group person, so I try to just find a partner and do routes. --- Hanananananana! This country's yours and mine. It's the home of the brave and the free.
