Why do people boulder? I'm interested in seeing why people boulder short routes instead of multi pitch or roped climbing. Please answer the poll above or comment on something different. Thank you :)
I have few friends and I tend to drop/let go of those rope & clippy things Na, There's alot of bull crap floating around the climbing community (Here anyway) Like provado with grades etc. I find the people I boulder with care less about looking cool and more about climbing & having fun. Bouldering feels more free & fun to me, more about the moves, friends & locations. For me anyway. Also why not? (ps - I don't only boulder anyway, made my first trad route this summer!!) pps - I'm not good at any of it!! max
Dunno why, when I am thinking about what to do it seems to just pop out as the most appealing option. Not sure why. I guess it's fun to just concentrate on the moves. Trad/alpine etc. is more of an adventure, but I'm not always in the mood for adventure (as much as I hero-worshiped MacGyver when I was younger).
Even though i do boulder, i prefer roped climbing. I think i like the adventure over the difficulties of bouldering. No matter if its sport, trad, alpine, ice or whatever, i climb because it is climbing. I have the same love for the sport even if its a 10 foot boulder problem or a 250 foot trad climb. Climbing is climbing
There should be an entire poll option labeled "Hueco Tanks"
That there isn't shows you are so far away from understanding bouldering its laughable.
You should also have an option labeled "Cause I don't want to tie in" but if Hueco is there nobody would use it.
Reread this a few times to yourself. If you don't get why I am asking you to do this after a few tries, you might want to recalibrate your "I don't want to look like a tool on the nets meter". As is, it just looks like you wanted to brag about climbing at Hueco on a thread that had nothing to do with Hueco.
