Bouldering

Post by **Wicked Tribe** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 6:28 pm

Actually the bouldering here is really good. There's just a lot of pansies out there that need trails and guidebooks and stuff like that.

I'll admit that the bouldering scene in the RRG is a bit on the wild side, but there are problems here that are just as good as anywhere else. The main problems here are concentration and accessibility. If you know where to look there are great areas.

Unfortunately, due to severe tendinitis I have given it up, sold both my pads. But I miss the days, just me and my dogs and a bunch of boulders.

few good problems scattered about, yes. but even if they were all in one area it wouldn't be a destination.

Never said it was a destination. JUst that its not as bad as everybody says.

Its my backyard so its all I got. But its good enough that I don't cry about it all the time. I've occupied myself with it for many years now. I'mamazed that year after year I keep finding new stuff.

I'm such a wimp...it's only 15* outside and I just handed my crash pad to two friends that drove down from cincy to climb at the Red...I opted to stay in my warm house with warm drink (not telling what).

I bet they will be back in about 3 hrs....hehehe

it better be warmer tomorrow or I guess I'm gonna be losing some fingers.

The Red does suck for bouldering...just admit it. I will agree though that there are like 3 good problems, but that doesn't make it worth it. And even if it is your backyard, that just means you are that much closer to the stuff down south

Just suck it up and head a few hours down south to go bouldering...trust me, you'll dig it

Bouldering at the Red is kinda like masturbating in the shower. Its enjoyable and it gets the job done but its not quiet as good as the real thing.

I'd love to head down south and check out the bouldering. Unfortunately I'm poor and married with a 11 month old while working and going to school full time.

Since being a dirtbag climber isn't my priority in life right now the Red will have to suffice. I'm happy to say, for me, it does. For anyone else in my situation the Red makes a nice bouldering area. If you live close enough and don't mind going off the beaten path there are hundreds of problems that will keep you busy for a few years.

For anyone who is all about having the perfect climbing experience then I'd say yeah, go somewhere else.
