Ain’t it about time that boulder’s realised that thier sport is for pussie’s and kids?I mean seriously get some balls and get some height,or what is the point.Kids do this everyday in the park,big deal.

I’m not a boulderer but what’s wrong with having fun? with being kids again? and if I think like you do for two seconds, I can tell you that you need some huge “BALLS” to boulder that high above the ground (see Liquidus Line)….
Anyway, great job guys with the climbing, filming and editing, keep up!

the difference between bouldering and getting on a rope is like the difference between sprinting and marathons. and when it comes to climbing videos i would rather see a sprinter(boulderer) push the limits of human ability and do something HARD. then just get pumped 20 ft up a 5.14. just because you dont understand the sport( suck at it ) dont talk shit. And how is it not height when that fool dropped his knee on a 35 ft tall mantel, thats some real shit, you should respect.

Sorry guys and gals but……
Any pastime that allows that many mistakes and still leaves you the ability to walk away is a pastime for kids…period.I suppose at a push I can see the “Return to your childhood” senario but,even then you cant be a kid forever.
I do understand the technical difficulties of some of the problems shown but what I dont understand is where the achievment is in standing on a boulder.Its like climbing Ben Nevis,why bother when your 60 year old aunt can walk up it?Maybe some one could kindly explain this part to me.

Bouldering is not just only for ‘being a kid’. Trust me, it looks way easier on pictures and videos then it is in real life. It gives climbers the possibility to train finger strength and techniques which are necessary to overcome hard pitches on rock faces, without the need of all the equipment.
Just look at it as a series of the toughest pitches of a long route concentrated in one single boulder.

PP, you obviously have done very little bouldering, so shut your fucking mouth. Let’s so you get up there 35 feet on some piss-poor slopers and see if you still think bouldering is for pussies.
