I was just woundering how many of you do other types of climbing besides sport climbing like:
Trad
Bouldering
Top roping
Gym climbing
or if sport was the way you alway go

i do a lot of bouldering when i cant find a partner, i try to spend most of my summers traveling around. This summer i spent a lot of time in Nh climbing trad. And in the winter, its ice climbing and mountaineering for me. My next mission is to find someone to go to Thailand with me for some good sport.

To tell you the truth I just did my first sport climb this weekend. I usually do trad climbing or toprope. I was not too interested in sport. But it is not that bad, trad is still the best though.

I do a lot of trad, a lot of boulering, some toproping, and i have just recently begun to enjoy the convenience of sport. Yeah, trad is still the best to me, though.

Everything but Aid, and Ice.
I even builder, and I've hung from and stemmed door jams in hotels when I can't get to rock or plastic. And once, I was in the containment building of a Nuke Power Plant dressed like Homer Simpson, climbing on the bottom (underside/upside-down) of some scaffolding, the safety guys frowned on that quickley though.

I really want to learn how to trad, but I honestly don't think I could haul all that extra gear up the mountain!

Can never close the options.

Trad, bouldering, gym, TR, and buildering but I prefer sport by far. I ususally TR a route before I lead it if it is hard.
Fiddling with gear I find usually sucks. It takes away from the technical freedom of sport climbing. Long live the bolt.
