Looking Sketchy. Where did end up? Indian Rock?
Munge, I wish.
No, took a taxi to Mission Cliffs and had the airport shuttle pick me up from there. Still, far, far better than sitting in a conference room all afternoon.

Coincidence! I just clicked on your avatar photo. We were bouldering at MC at the same time yesterday.

I was the older, overweight, out of shape guy with thinning hair who was struggling on the V0s. Nothing like the guy on the photo-shopped avatar picture.
But, I'm making a come back!

I was the other middle-aged guy---graying, glasses. Nice to almost meet you, and glad you got in a workout!

I can't say that was my intention, but it's sometimes turned out that way. I do remember Robbins coming to Berkelely a few times "just" to visit Indian Rock, and I admit that when I'm in the Bay Area, I will go out of my way to do the same.

about an hour or 2 is the furthest, unless you count the time I went to HP40 on the way to a wedding in Atlanta...

Occasionally, but i usually feel like a trip is missing something without tying on. In bishop at the moment though, and the size of the boulders has made that less of an issue!

oops, I've been outed by splitter!
ok, in something like 44 seasons of climbing, I traveled to Woodson (twice, actually) to boulder/toprope
so I guess, in a word: infrequently

I'll spend lazy days traveling just hoping to find boulders that might not even exist.

Why are we debating the Non-differance.
Because Ed was in denial!
But he has confessed and has seen the light! ;)

Hell yeah I've done a few bouldering road trips!
Twice on spring break in college we traveled from West Virginia to Heuco Tanks. First time there were 4 of us and so fun the second there were 9. We had 4 people in the van I was traveling in and we each took a gas tank shift which was about 6 hrs. Got there in about 36!
We had the best time! Both getting there (tornadoes, girls showing some skin, weird exits/stores for gas.) All at the age of 19ish and 21ish. This was before guides.
Some of my best memories from college!
Bouldering is climbing too! With a two year old its most of what I do these days in terms of shoeing up. Don't diss it...
Cheers!!!

It's all relative, I guess.
45 min to Rat Rock
11 hours to Buttermilk Country
The pebbles at the Milks are big enough to warrant wrastlin', not merely pinching.
Plus you end up getting hundreds of feet of downclimbing in in a day.
Friends, kids, dogs, views, beautiful problems, grillin, sleepin under the stars, meeting Chinchen, losing and growing skin, making breakthroughs, glory climbing, encouraging friends, stoke, sending, failing....
That's what it's all about for me, and sounds like every other climbing trip to me. ...
Minus the rope.

I travelled 700 miles just to climb Mt. Tyndall (14er) solo - does that count as bouldering ?
