Pretty sure Temescal to Indian Rock is my max.

In a word...
No.
a) I'm a big fat chicken without a rope. (even with a rope for that matter)
b) I'm completely paranoid about re-injuring stuff
So so bouldering is not fun for me and "just" to boulder is definitely not on my climbing travel itinerary.

Yes. I might even occasionally travel to climb multi-pitch routes.

Tho I haven't been able to climb much lately making it hard to top out on the lovelies, I do enjoy bouldering. It doesn't matter whether I have to travel a little or a lot it's the best of times spending the day with just myself or a few friends enjoying the stones of choice.
Peace, (which the stones seem to create) Lynne

Easter trips to Font with the boys are some of the best weekends away I've ever had.

Well, how long do you have to be moving for it to be "travel"? I have biked for 2 hours to go bouldering, and I've driven for 2 hours as well.

Traveling to a boulder! That's hilarious.
I would never do that. I do like to practice swimming in bathtubs though.

^^^^^^ Stained Glass, a world class line worth traveling for.
I've spent a month on bouldering road trips a few different times. Hueco Tanks twice, and a couple of years ago Bishop for 5 weeks in Sept/Oct bouldering every other day. Mix up the sessions between the milks and tablelands and maybe a day at Rock Creek if it's warm down below and skin shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Yup, So. Cal to Moab, just for big bend... Multiple times. I've spent quite a few weeks there, and never tied in once.

I walk my dog at the Kraft boulders in Calico Basin (Red Rock) about once a week. It is amazing how many climbers I talk to that have traveled there just to boulder. They don't even bring ropes with them on the trip.

Ed Hartouni -- in a word: no
Ed, I do believe you traveled with at least one other friend(Scuffy b??)all the way down from the SF Bay area to Woodson. And I believe Woodson would qualify as a bouldering site, albeit some rather large boulders of which many require a tr, and many others do not. But still, it is a bouldering site, and perhaps the finest one in all of N America when one takes into account the vast selection of cracks and face climbs in one area vs the B-Milks which is primarily face, pockets, etc. with few cracks!

thedogfather,
Awesome pics. And definately well worth the drive, imo!
edit: i worked in vegas for a little over a year in '97 and use to look forward to driving out there on weekends to hike and occasionally boulder.
That's awesome Charles!! How about sharing a little more about that trip with us?

I do a lot less than "just" boulder on some of my trips.
