Videos of climbing are usually boring.

Really?

It's not boring because one tends to fall quite a bit more, resulting in ground contact--definitely NOT boring or stretchy and safe...

Well of course nothing can match the sheer excitement of a multi-hour slog up a snow filled colouir.

Well this post deserves a bump. Not to blow smoke out my ass, or up yours, but the most scared and the most injured I've ever been was while bouldering. Just sayin'. Highball boldering is extreme.

Stupid question and you know it. Like most of climbing it's not so exciting to watch. But like most of climbing it's pretty exciting while you're doing it.

Get up on some high ball boulder problem and tell me that you're bored.

Most heroin users find the buzz from weed to be boring .. in my opinion it's better than nothing. In fact it's a lot of fun most of the time albeit dirty.

All climbing looks boring, and isn't. Canada looks boring and, with the exception of BC, is.
