rehearsal is mandatory
Scuff, with the cut away base, hands get inserted just below half height.
It's ready for you! 8 mile approach.

Never thought of bouldering as a fad. John Gill certainly set a standard of climbing that captivated the likes of many including John Bachar and John Long. Recently tried bouldering and if it is a "Fad" it's here to stay.
Climbing rock is just that. There's all kinds. Like people and races. None is really better than the rest. Joy and Peace, Lynne

Even if it looks eerily like an Offwidth Headstone...

Boulders have been victimized by this "bouldering" craze for far too long. Instead of being productive members of society, these kooks spend their days wearing funny shoes and lugging small mattresses around, to feed their need to put chalk on innocent rocks, unmindful that they may be ruining my wilderness experience. The sooner this fad peters out, the better if you ask me.

Every time I'm done bouldering, the fad is over. Then it starts up again the next time I go bouldering. It's all climbing, it's all a "fad", and it's all dangerous. I went slab climbing yesterday, now that's a scary fad. You slabmasters are sick in the head. A good thing though.

The bouldering near bald mountain sucks, what a joke even going there, although it is a nice drinking spot

I dont think pads even existed ( or were not mainstream anyway) when I started bouldering. Love bouldering but have always felt like a tool carrying a big ass pad around. Bouldering is cool none the less. Nothing like a good session to clear the head after a long day . Add in a nice run to boulder and you got yourself a fun little workout. Im bringin' bouldering back.

Are you sure, most the bouldering I've seen in the area looks alot like the choss pile in the picture. Rattlesnake Rock is much better than Bald Mountain too bad it got closed.
