Description Suggest change


St Helen’s Island bouldering has many boulder problems ranging from V0 to V5. Landings are flat with very few rocks. The site has few natural features making it sometimes hard to find the ‘’obvious’’ lines. Therefore, some boulder problems were imagined while avoiding certain holds or with sit starts to increase their difficulty. It can sometimes be hard to know if the boulder problem is being climbed as it was imagined or rated. Something seemingly too easy could indicate the wrong start or the use of holds that are off. Thus, do not stay fixated on grades or what is allowed (or not). Climb what looks nice and have fun while doing it!

Le bloc de l'Île Ste-Hélène comprend plusieurs problèmes allant de V0 à V5. Les atterrissages sont plats avec très peu de roches. Puisque le site comprend très peu de fissures évidentes, souvent il peut être difficile de trouver les lignes évidentes. Alors, les problèmes de blocs furent imaginés avec certaines prises exclues ou des départs assis pour augmenter la difficulté des problèmes. Il peut donc parfois être difficile de savoir si l'on grimpe les problèmes de blocs comme ils ont été imaginés. Un problème de bloc trop facile pourrait indiquer que vous avez un mauvais départ ou que vous utilisez des prises exclus du problème. Ainsi, ne restez pas trop fixé sur les cotes ou ce qui est permis (ou pas). Grimpez comme il vous convient, l’important c’est de s’amuser!
