Doing a little research-how do people carry their stuff (i.e. shoes, guidebooks, extra fleece, ect) on outings as they move between boulders? Do you stuff things inside your crash pad? If so any qualms about things falling out? Do you bring another pack?
Thanks!

I'm with him, get yourself an entourage, ideally hot swedish chicks.
all kidding aside, I just toss my lunch/water/guide/etc. into a medium size stuff sack and hook the cinch cord though one of the straps that holds the pad closed. no worries.

From Wikipedia:
The colon is a storage tube for solid wastes. The main function of the colon appears to be extraction of water and salts from feces. In mammals, it consists of the ascending colon, transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. The colon from cecum to the splenic flexure (the junction between the transverse and descending colon) is also known as the right colon. The remainder is known as the left colon.
Pack it in, pack it out.

Most pads now have a pouch in them or are velcro and the bottom is sealed when closed. So I store my stuff in the pad.

I know this is a crazy idea...but... ever used a backpack? I heard they can fit a whole assortment of items in one easy to carry container. PLUS, they have straps that allow you to actually "sling" over your shoulders, giving you the ability to have your hands free.
some people, in remote parts of the world, even use backpacks as more of a "front pack" by simply reversing the use of the intended design, and "sling" the pack to the front of them. This allows their back to be free to carry OTHER stuff like....a crash pad.
or....find a gym rat to come with and carry all your shit. but then you gotta put up with the ever annoying "Where do I put my foot now? is this hold on? ew...is that a spider!?!?"

On the rare occasions I boulder, I shove everything into a small pack and then stuff it into the pad.

i got saddle bags for my dog. The idea was just to make her carry her own water and food, but she's a healthy 80lbs and doesn't have a problem carrying extra shoes, chalk, lunch, etc.

try getting a good dry sack to keep everything in otherwise look into getting an Asana crash pad cause they have a good flap on the bottom that makes it impossible to drop anything. I carry 2 Asana crash pads in and out of Mt Evans which is a pretty rough hike, with food water and winter clothing as well my choice in bouldering weaponry

I used a BD Bullet pack until a buddy was tossing out his Pusher Spot pad/pack. If you can find one, the Spot makes nice sit start pad and okay pack. It is bit of a pain to pack up as one has to fold and buckle it.

Crash pads are for fags. Ditch the pad and go Gill style!

Crash pads are da best. if your planning on not using a pad then buy a damn helmet/skid lid/brain bucket.

Bring your gf with you and make THAT bitch carry everything for you between boulders even tho she hates the sport to begin. And just keep blazing Jay's and blowing dust in her face.
