Alex Honnold’s definition of a boulder problem…

Back to basics…

Now that I’m back on campus it’s back to gym climbing… If there’s one thing I hate about climbing (besides hiking) its how quickly gym climbing gets old… Even when you can set your own routes it just starts to drag you down… Hopefully this year I’ll make more buddies to climb with to spice things up… But right now it’s fresh and new with all new routes… And establishing my dominance over the very few freshman who actually own climbing shoes (clearly bought this week). But I hope to see some old faces of the guys who forced me to retreat to the traverse wall in leu of embarrassment on the overhanging section when I was a freshman… Can’t wait to trash my pads in this plastic paradise…

Alex Puccio boulderin it up in the Tanks… Check out her youtube page for more great videos…

To be a full-fledged boulderer, you need to be able to do two things: climb way harder than I can, and shout ‘You got it, dude!’ with convincing enthusiasm every time someone leaves the ground, continuing until their return.
