sport climbing is the basis of bouldering

bouldering is the basis of highballing

highballing is the basis of trad climbing

trad climbing is the basis of alpinism

alpinism is the basis of dying alone in a crevasse when your partner cuts the rope

 

I think Dru is more correct than anyone else so far. I hate bouldering unless I am alone or stuck somewhere with no big rocks and nothing else is available. Even then I think it's boring.

So I say the answer to the subject is - No

Shit, I started out soloing, the purest form of the sport. Then I realized "hey, this is dangerous" and corrupted it with fear. Now I got a rope and a bunch of gear and credit card debt and I compare myself to others and know what a 5.10 is and spend my time spraying on CC.Com...... tongue.gif
