Shattered my ankle trying to do highball in '85. Now I don't highball.
That was before pads. However, same result if you miss the pad.
Interesting datum for boulderers: A 150 lb weight falling 10 ft generates 2,000 lbs of force. (don't recall the source)

I'll vouch for chinchen's kids.
By the way, I'm back around but my cell phone went with the old job.
I'm thinking BBQ this weekend, maybe a quick trip to the happies.

Sounds fun Tom! Give me a shout.
Thanks for the props Munge.
I gave up bouldering tonight when I went to the Buttermilks to find two euro twits cooking spaghetti under the birthday boulder warmup prow....

kind of like mark fydrich, the pitcher, anybody remember him?
Yeah, I saw him pitch in Evansville.
I hope bouldering doesn't fade away. My newest strategy at Josh is to get a kid boulderer to put the first piece in for me.

I spent 800 days in the sierra by my 20th birthday,
started climbing when i was 12.
When I opened Art of Climbing at 33 in Chatsworth near many boulding devotees holy grail, stoney point,i had only been there three times before.
ok i care about the place, lobbied for and got a night time parking restriction which greatly reduced graffitti and broken glass...
but...
I always wanted to print a T-Shirt
only just a little tongue in cheek.....
If it isn't three pitches high,
it isn't worth doing
maybe that's why i never got any good!
i hated to boulder.
and detested the rich lake beta fest mentality of
"that goes like this" blah blah...
actually, i never really wanted to do any route more than once.
I always associated climbing, and enjoyed the process,
of having to think.

Bouldering is the most real, but only if you can answer the question "what is "real"?" !?

It may be because I'm a newbie, but doesn't hating on bouldering seem a little elitist to anyone? I mean it is the cheapest and best intro to climbing isn't it? Thats like, at least to me, big wave surfers hating on a guy from Nebraska who is just learning how to surf, or a grom learning how to drop in properly.
I understand disliking those who ruin the experience by leaving a mess or being obnoxious, but I find it incredibly odd that NONE of the Trad climbers or the Alpine climbers have never run into their own ilk being just as rude and obnoxious.

Its a progression of things. You start off bouldering then TR, then sport, then trad, then aid, then Big wall. Boulderers aren't as evolved...it's just science.

Two words.....JOHN GILL. The man is a wonder and thank god he took it serious! He got me pumped on bouldering and I still find it a meditation on rock, kinesthetic flow the marvel of moving on stone!
