Hey
I set a layback route at the local bouldering wall for fun.
It doesn't seem particularly safe because you fall between the crash pads and the wall. Do people make layback routes on bouldering walls???

Better yet, why not leave the pads and re-construct the walls a few feet over?

In reply to: Uh, can't you move the pads?
They're really huge pads and layered weird. I tried to move them but it wasn't quite enough.
I suppose I could move the route to an overhanging wall.
I also suppose this is a silly post, there's just some weird norms in the climbing community, I'm trying to figure em out.

I just set a really wierd torquey layback route at the gym...we have lots of them. Our pads are huge and cushy, so the worry about falling is minor. Just put it somewhere people won't get slammed
