Bouldering...

a style of climbing small problems usually very close to the ground.....reliant on a bizarre mix of brute arm power, finger power, balance, technique and friction...

Had a very pleasant hour at Carrock Fell tonight - nice to be back on rock for the first time since the trip to Italy/Belgium. Although I like bouldering I am pretty rubbish it - footwork is not a massive issue and my cycling/walking gives me large leg muscles that are no use...however it is good fun and I did 3 problems tonight that I had not done before. None were remotely hard but it was nice to get out into the fresh air and see that autumn is starting to come to Cumbria...
