Killer bouldering in Patagonia. And your point? Lost on everyone but me. The B'Ham herald had an article in it the other day about a local climber who went to Patagonia to boulder. Didn't make much sense, to head all the way down there to boulder next to such rad peaks. Quote

Ursa_Eagle Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 what about flying to India to boulder, then sit in the shade all day and say "it's hot out there, and like, it's really hot. we can't boulder because it's like really hot. We have to lay low and stay cool because it's hot and........" Quote
