Clearly, the answer is to come online and ask other people online what you should do with your life.

Don't you dare call that a send.

It depends on how much hair product you are wearing.

This is invalidated, you need to hang yourself by your toenails and delete your 8a account.

Also bouldering starts 3 feet off the ground so technically you aren't even climbing yet.

I feel like a cranky old fucker, but what the hell is a "dab"?

climbing friend,

it is the oils of cannabis that you smoke out of your "vape" before sending your "proj" "brah"

also when you suck at bouldering and your body parts are hitting of the ground during ascent.

however, if everyone standing around you half-heartedly and unhelpfully "spotting" with one hand they are too stoned to notice the "dab," then your "ascent" remains "valid."

I took the liberty of using 50x magnification via computer. I saw the pad deflect 1.2mm +/- .5mm, based on the spring coefficient of foam I'd estimate that the pad briefly supported between 2 and 4 ounces (depending on your weight). So it's up to you, but you should probably do it again.

I'm guessing it's the same reason one usually sees them wearing puffy jackets and pants, because when they're outside it's usually goddamncold so they can get that sweet friction?

And if that product increased the density of your hair, allowing you to cheat by scrubbing the pad.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
