And before anyone points it out, I was a lost cause way before I started climbing.

Grit aside, George, you ignore Bennett's point at your peril. He knows what he's talking about as far as the perils of boards go.

I'm no whiz but I do routinely burn off people out doors whose warm-ups I have to project inside. Boards definitely have a place, but there is definitely a limit to the crossover (especially for routes).

You're clearly pretty keen on advertising that you've not climbed for very long (this makes you seem like a total cock btw, which i'm sure you're not), and that suggests to me that hitting the boards twenty-fo seven is not what you wanna do at this stage in your climbing 'career'.

Quoth Moon:

"I think that young people worry too much about training and don’t climb enough. Now, I spend all my time training, but  in the early days I’d climb, climb, climb. Technique is the key; all good climbers have it, and you’re not going to get it on a campus board, or doing footless problems, or even climbing on plastic. The time to start training is when you stop improving."

Imagine if Tyler would have followed bens advice. Footless problems in his formative years and appalling technique led him to being one of the best boulderers in the world, who knows what he could have gone on to achieve without these setbacks
