It's all freeclimbing unless you are aiding.

you could be a smart ass, put on a harness, and then boulder above 10 feet with it on.

basically, your terminology is a bit off there, slick. first of all, u can boulder with a harness on (although u will be a dork), u can also free climb AND free solo while wearing a harness. if u arent experienced enough to know what free climbing and free soloing are, then i suggest u heed their (intended) advice and rope up for anything over 10 feet.

be safe.

When the height is becoming of mortal danger and you don't use any protection it's soloing, below 10 feet is certainly bouldering.
