Bouldering

When in doubt, climb higher.

Bouldering is a type of climbing undertaken without a rope and is normally limited in respect to the height the climber ascends the route so that any fall will not risk significant injury. This variation of climbing can be practiced on large boulders, at the base of larger rock faces/climbing routes, in indoor climbing centres, or even on manmade structures.

Sleb is that gym-rat V4 or outdoors? Plastic is def. different than mineral climbing...

we should get a climbing party to go to the gunks or something in the springtime...

No joke! Im new to climbing I can do V1 pretty easy in the gym, but struggle with V0 outdoors. It is a different beast in the real world of climbing. I have found location makes a difference too. Texans rate their routes really difficult. What is a 5.7 here may be a 5.9 in Red Rocks.

I feel like there is a lack of boulder-jargon -- I mean, let's talk about the inverted dreaded guy trying to flash a v7 without getting pumped on the crimpers and slopers. The route doesn't look juggy at all, but I think I see a heel hook and some positive holds in there. I would suggest that he stay as static as possible cuz a dyno would pop him off too quickly -- where's his pad? That may be sandstone - in that case the friction is pretty crappy at times, but the flow is always golden - you usually get a lot of pockets, pinches and slopers. Good luck George Clinton, good luck.
