Re: [sungam] If you like to jump on beach/intertidal rocks, what's the name of that hobby? Does it fall under the "rock climbing" umbrella?:

I *think* (now this is a little bit of a longshot, but I am shooting for some bonus points here) that J is referring to an article written for... I can't remember the site (ask men dot com or something like that?) that described the different styles of climbing with hilarious inaccuracy, calling belaying "using the rope tohelp pull the climber up the wall" and bouldering "extreme hiking with some short climbs over boulders thrown in". Do I win?
It seems like boulder hopping is the name of this activity. Do you know of any message board (maybe this one?) where I can find people who like to go boulder hopping? I'd like to do it in the company of another person, not only because it's more fun that way but less dangerous in case I jump and break a limb or something.
