hey ppl, I have this long boulder at our local bouldering area, it's not hard at all, it's just long, must be about 15 meters. the catch is that it's about 5 or 6 meters straight into a place where the sea slams into the rock. any suggestions to get up the nerve to pull it off and any safety suggestions? I know I can do it but I'm just afraid of falling off.

Regards, D

Commit! Or try it on top rope or trad if possible. 5 meters is still 15' off the deck so it might just be possible to lead. Or you could just not do it, but that's no fun. I would say just commit or don't bother in the end. Either you feel comfortable with it or you don't, and you shouldn't risk injury if it feels uncomfortable.

it's sideways, not vertical so I cant top it
I suppose trad is an option...
