Is Low Ball Bouldering Climbing? I vote yes

Cluttering would only be an issue if the stuff was mixed up with the routes or boulders - which it isn't. Get of your 40' sport climbing high horse... Mike's stuff is not particularly amusing but it beats any attempt at humor one can hope to encounter on here. PS: Jake? Are you for real?

You clearly don't know how the interwebs work. If we let this guy clutter up our precious cyber-space with too many teeny little boulders, we won't have enough room left for any of the epic 40' sport routes you mentioned above! That would be UNACCEPTABLE!

Tilting at windmills is an English idiom which means attacking imaginary enemies, or fighting unwinnable or futile battles. The word “tilt”, in this context, comes from jousting.

The phrase is sometimes used to describe confrontations where adversaries are incorrectly perceived, or courses of action that are based on misinterpreted or misapplied heroic, romantic, or idealistic justifications.

Wouldn't the idiom be essentially Spanish then? It sounds like Don Quixote to me...

Don't you know anything, brah? Shit, if Rory finds out that you slept with Kimberlay, he's gonna be pissed.

Huh? Rory already knows...where you been?

This is either hilarious or really sad. I'm leaning towards sad.

For me...it is a tough life...left unaccepted by either the "little persons world" or the "normal" height world
at 5'3" I am left to wonder this earth alone...so alone brah.

This area is for the benefit of all who chose to embrace this as a form of climbing.

You all have a choice: In the words of Magneto (born Max Eisenhardt) "join the revolution or stand aside"

Once Bouldering was considered a BS form of climbing now it is widely accepted

Little people have entertained us for millennium I propose we start giving back

Im all for low balls but these are just silly...

This is the biggest rock here:

these two wont even go past my knees:



These two are man made:



So no insult to anyone but this area really needs to be removed from this site. It was funny but thats what it was good for a good laugh, which it has caused me several. This includes the page, the routes, the video posted, this very forum. all very funny!

To all that have submitted their opinions...Thank You.
To those that took offense, the area was just a silly idea, original or not ("little devil"), I agree that it should be taken off as an area. Ironically a few of those that strongly disagreed with the area are the same people who posted 20' routes as "trad". So in a sense they are guilty of "cluttering" the database too. Some of the posts made me feel like I was listening to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh,or Mike Savage. Filled with Anger and hate...over nothing...maybe their own anger at something else in their life misdirected towards the same person that was only trying to bring them an unexpected laugh.
Finally I would like to ask anyone who knows Jake D or meets him...give him a big hug and let him know that the world is a great place and people are totally kind.

I deleted the area in question. Our long national nightmare is over. :)

Damnit… I need to visit this site more often. I completely missed the festivities. To answer the question of the post, though; low ball bouldering is not climbing. As either a transitive or intransitive verb climbing implies more or less a continuous, upward motion. Sorry, Mike.
Loved the pictures, but knees on the rock is really bad form.

thanks for removing it jay...
no harm done :)
it is an over played joke but im sure you introduced a few newbies to it...

as for jakeD: i know him... Jake, sorry but i think you were breaking rule #1... i was way more concerned about your comments than the subject at hand... calm down and know that our fearless administrator will set things straight haha...
