odub, aren't you the ultimate anti-boulderer? i feel like we've discussed pebble wrestling, and you were totally opposed...
Courtesy of Andrew: "I don't think you will damage your escort unless she trips because she is so strung out on blow. Most people just take them to the rest area."
I'm absolutely anti bouldering as an end in itself (for me). I see it as a means to an end. If it weren't for the fact that I get hurt every time I climb at Climb Time, but I've never so much as tweaked a tendon bouldering outside, then I wouldn't be asking this question.
However, in the name of reaching 5.14 by 40, I'd do well to gain power. So this winter, its bouldering on weekends, power endurance during the week.
Its all about the training. I need something that takes me more than a few tries, and I don't want to just pick some random V9's. I'd rather know the good ones...
