Why Do Some Climbers HATE Bouldering?

Not to mention sitting around and doing nothing If you think you sit around doing nothing bouldering you should try properly projecting a sport route, 45 minutes sat in a harness while the climber barely moves more than 4 meters while he tries moves with all the different beta under the sun. This is also while being somewhat violently jerked towards the wall as the climber falls, again and again and again. Bouldering it's like a 5-10 minute break between serious attempts with lots of climbing for everyone while you all work out the beta. |

Bouldering is hard and scary. I've never hit the ground trad, sport, or ice climbing. |

Rock Climbing Is an exercise in futility & nothing emphasizes that more than Small rock Yo-Yo-ing Bouldering came first , Every fall is a ground fall. Pads help, Pads are aid, Pads ruined bouldering Pursuing purity is brutally honest, It is a "SEND-IT" game; Send or Fail - No cheating "Beta" is cheating, Chalk Tick marks are cheating, Spotting is cheating, Pads are cheating The reason for hating on anything is always the same; If one can't rise up to game ? Try to tear it down. Pebble Wrestling, Pad people, Small Rock Messaging, Boulder Massaging, Bare`back `Bienie`Wankers, Stone Ticklers, Rock Tickers, Yankin' Wankers, Yank`n planters, Tough-Tuggers, Ugly Landers (come`n go splat' I'L'smoke that & Spilt* beer) *Spilled Brew is a sin to a few The thing is rock climbing should be defined by the "verb" "Climbing", & not by all the modifiers now applied to it: "Hanging out Catching some pad time" - hang or dangle till you get up something. |

Every fall is a ground fall, I am not afraid of falling, I am afraid of the ground. |

I enjoy all forms of climbing - mountaineering, adventure/choss new routing, trad climbing, sport climbing and, yes, bouldering. I get a little something different out of each of them. I'm not all that strong at any of them, but I am enthusiastic. |
|
I don't really think it's that anyone hates bouldering. |
|
Its pebble wrestling. If you think youre a real climber you are only cheating yourself |

A funny quote, I think maybe from Tim Toula, ‘I love everything about climbing, except the actual climbing.’ |

Boulderers are the Flat Earthers of climbing |

I think I get it now... it’s a predominately male sport and y’all just like to talk shit to each other. Lmfao. Now it all makes sense. Well I’ll see y’all out there. |
