I check the fall line from the crux to the ground, make an X at the SPOT where impact is likely to occur, then go about my business.

Hey Ross brothers I heard you went to Bald Mountain. My friend just sent me some old Bald Mtn. bouldering photos. This is my favorite Bald Mtn. boulder (despite the fact that I broke my heel almost making the 1st ascent). I think the lack of a spotter but presence of a photographer qualifies it as bad spotting (although the climber pictured would be unlikely to fall).

No bad spotting, but the dumbass climbing cracks me up. It looks like I'm humping the rock.

It looks like not falling form there would be a good plan, even it means having to hump the rock.

In order to stay somewhat on topic I have posted another photo, this time of me at donut nation and with no spotter. I can go in the afternoons for about three more weeks. I will give you guys a call, I am going to courtright tonite.

Locker, some spotters are good up to a certain height.
Others, up to a certain difficulty.
I guess some can only spot up to a certain age.
Myself, I can give a bad spot up to almost any height, difficulty or age.
"Whoa, Dude, that must really hurt!"

Hey thanks for proving I went climbing and didn't just drink all day at the Buckhorn. As for the dog he just had confidence in my abilities.
