did my first REAL bouldering trip today... AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!! yeah i found that, at least in my opinion, bouldering takes alot more strength than most other climbing. i was hangin unsidedown and flipping my legs and arms everywhere. it was tireing but it was awesome... i did get pumped once, though and i have never gotton pumped climbing before so that sorta sucked i didn't know what to expect, so i sorta just dropped down. but other than that it was wicked... anyone know some good bouldering areas in and around gleenwood spings colorado...?

It's rad that you're stoked on bouldering outside... but your post was kind of funny.
And if you've never been pumped before then you're not trying nearly hard enough... either that or you were really spraying and then trying to cover up afterwards.

I like that part the best... it kinda sounds like you were at the park playing on the monkey bars :D

We can tell him that flinging his legs and stuff everywhere is funny. Which it is but we might want to warn his spotters before someone get hurt. :lol: What was the rating on the boulder?

I haven't climbed much, off and on for almost 2 years. Probably less than anyone here. What's a V-2 compared to sport climbing? (5.?)

That's kewl. I reccomend getting that book I told you about (Mountaineers). It has a lot of info in it. Maybe someday I'll finish reading it. :D Good job on a 5.11a/b!

i wasn't meaning to... but i was totaly stoked... i mean i am a solid 5.10 climber and i v-5 is ike extream and i was excited... sorry i didn't mean to spray i was just really excited! but like i said i climb mostly with my feet this sounds weird but like a girl... girls will almost always beat a guy of the same experiance on a sport climb becauise they use their feet as apossoed to their arms. so their arms do not get fatigued so easily... thats like me im a small guy 5'6 120 lbs, and my arms are the arms of a swimmer /climber fairly strong but not not very big my legs on the other hand are those of a runner since i run like everywhere since i don'
have my licence so i just alwasy rely on my feet. that is why i don't get pumped... cept for that once, and probably every other time i try bouldering now lol :roll:
