Same here. Plus, when I was more in to that scene, it seemed like a disproportionate number of folks got injuries from bouldering vs free climbing.

- sandworm101 8y agoYup. It is vastly more dangerous than trad or even sport climbing. No rope+fall=bad, even if only a few feet off the deck. Bouldering also leads to pushing a vertical boundry, exactly where does bouldering become free soloing? I also worry for the boulderer/gym rat who's physical abilities are not matched with the technical knowhow that comes from trad.
