I like gym sessions with friends. I love being able to drink a red bull put my shoes on, trash myself for an hour and a half, then take them off, knowing that I am now a stronger climber.
So, yes plastic will help you, as long as you push yourself on it.

Does bouldering help develop climbing ability?

Bouldering WILL help your climbing power and technique. I came off of a three month bouldering spree and could climb a little harder, and not get so wiged out at a Crux. Breaking down a route you ( dont kill me) have some filler, a crux and more filler. routes like this will show your improvment provided you still have some endurence. on more sustaned stuff you could be SOL, do your traverses. Personaly I couldent stand the thought of leading in a gym, ( its a gym and there are 5.6 jugs ontop of a harder route) but I have found that I can put draws in the cave and when doing a hard problome picke a shity clip. this keeps me in shape to lead the more vertical climbs, I have no endurence. but long story short, add some bouldering to your workout and in a few months youll see a diffrence
Kali Mist grows into tall, running, classically sativa plants with very few leaves. This strain produces dense clusters of full fluffy buds, producing much higher yields than you would expect.
ussc, have you ever climbed at the red? it's an old ax, but climbs here don't have cruxes...they are graded by length and steepness....80 feet of 5.8 moves on a 30 degree overhung wall? ... 5.12b
just take the single hardest move on a red river route..let's say, a 12a line....build a three move boulder problem of 5.6 holds..now repeat that problem 36 times, and you will send 12a at the Red...it really is that simple.

Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
