Pull the rope?

After a killer two days in Boone, I have decided that TRing and leading both suck about the same. Bouldering is where it is at.

You'll be back on the rope next weekend. I'll put money on it.

How much? Maybe place a bet on the next two weekends, perhaps?

you suck so bad! What about your trad game? or are you just gonna solo it?

This weekend I climbed a 5.0 trad at the darkside. It was an onsight. The route currently doesn't have a name. I want to name it "Hoth" after the ice planet in "The Empire Strikes Back"

Man, 90%+ of "trad" climbers are pus*ies, that sit around and talk about "that scary 5.7" they hung on twice. And don't even get me started about sport losers. Besides, you can do trad stuff bouldering. I downrated a V5 to V2 Friday because of a killer hand jam. Should have seen the look on this guys face when I told him....

And, when was the last time you saw this many super strong and super hot climber chicks at ANY crag?

Um, actually, ever since I was strong enough to do V0, I have kinda prefered pebble wrestling. Hooked since the first trip to G'Mom two years ago. Spent three weeks in Bishop, and one day in the valley. Left J-tree for Heuco after one day. Bouldered in Eldo, rather then do another route. Bouldered in Lander, instead of routes in the winds, sinks, or Iris. Bouldered in Grand Tetons in the shadow of "real" mountians. It is only a matter of time before I sell my rack and move somewhere with lots of nice problems.

You should come bouldering with me one day. It is super fun.

Nope, won't do any good. Once you have had the good stuff, the pure stuff, you can't go back. I mean you can kinda get your fix with the roped stuff, kinda like a high end junkie drinking cheap beer, but that will only help for a little while.

You should try some. Not everyone that tries it likes it. Sometimes it is fear, sometimes, weakness. Sometime it is an over dependence on gear. But for those that feel it, then the real climbing begins.

Since you would rather TR 12's then lead 10's, you might fit in. Bouldering is all about the crux. Dig the crux on Ro? Well, there are many, many of those out there. And you don't even have to do the boring climbing to get to it. Just start cranking right from the ground.
