I dont boulder at the moment because I'm too busy fishing
InjuriesClimbing: A padded crash mat and spotters soften falls, but injuries can include sprains and strains from landing badly after a fall or jumping off, or from overuse of the fingers, wrists, arms and shoulders. 3 starsBouldering: Safety equipment reduces injuries, but the most common are from overuse of the fingers, wrists, arms and shoulders, plus cuts and bruises if you fall when above a piece of equipment you've placed. 3 stars
i boulder because brute power is satisfying and can often deposit you on top of a problem. i boulder to be strong and to be stronger than someone else. sometimes i also boulder to have fun.
I don't boulder for fun, I boulder for power.
