Dru Posted August 16, 2002 Author Posted August 16, 2002 "To scramble around on a few little rocks is not, of course, the same as mountaineering." - Lionel Terray describing Fontainebleau c. 1948 "Bouldering is the synthesis of all skills needed for climbing" - Ron Kauk c. 1990 Who was right? Quote

How many great mountaineering books or stories have you read? How many great bouldering books or stories have you read? Quote
jordop Posted August 18, 2002 Posted August 18, 2002 I had this epic bouldering one time. Nuff said. Quote
nolanr Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 Lachenal was on top of Annapurna w/ Herzog. I like the part in his book where Terray said him and Louis weren't out doing a bunch of FA's in the Alps (even though plenty were available still) because many of the unclimbed lines were like the ugly girls nobody asked out.
