What is all this safety rating on the boulder problems for?
I have climbed many of the problems listed and felt that none were dangerous.
I just feel that it is misleading to add a "PG13, R, or X" rating to a boulder problem...it's bouldering, if you don't have a good spotter you can hurt yourself on anything.
The guy who contributed these problems is new to MP.com so he might have over done it, no big deal. He can, and I agree that he should, go back and edit his post to get rid of the safety rating and the "stars" he added to the name for the sake of making the site more uniform and consistent, plus they are not needed. So thanks, bradkillough, for your contribution, but please consider editing your posts.
