Um, unless maybe you just cranked out 5 full power moves, barely sticking each one, only to find yourself 15 feet off the deck, trying like hell to mantel some slopey nothingness, knowing that if you pitch off, it will be on your back, with no spotters and two pads that are to far to the right to do much good.

Ok Maybe I should say, I dont get the same feeling bouldering.
I do boulder occasionaly and its cool. having a pad would make it nicer.

SCIN, I hear what you are saying, and I also love that feeling. But, I am just trying to stand up for the simple bouldererers around. They just don't get the love that routies do. Called gym rats and pratice climbers and whatever. Man, that just isn't right. So, just think of me as the voice of the oppostion, fighting for the underloved.

Reggae against the machine.

I like how so many of the gear catalogs categorize bouldering stuff under "training."

Sandy, true. That is just one more way the man tries to keep us down. Fight the power!!

I didnt learn to move over rock properly and didn't get over my fear of overhangs until I started bouldering at Climbtime. It would be way better outdoors with a pad for sure.No fussing with gear harness and rope.endless racking and schedule hassles digging up a partner.
