In reply to Blue Straggler:
> 6b as in "sport lead"? Finishing a sport route is different to finishing a boulder problem, you are supposed to be able to put the rope through the lower-off (a purist would say "without holding the chains" or in an indoor wall scenario, "without grabbing the top of the wall or some crossbeam behind")
> And within the context of the indoor wall problem, surely it DOES matter if you've finished the problem. Given that this thread is about finishing problems (a clue in the title), and is in the Bouldering forum, I'm almost inclined to call your reply a troll
It was 6b on a top rope, so no chains to clip. Otherwise I'd agree with you about indoor leading.
Yeah, I know it's in the bouldering forum, but my point was that I didn't agree with 'touching the hold to finish'. You've got to grab it properly. However as I'd said, indoor bouldering/climbing is training, so really, who cares what you can or can't do indoors?
First time I've ever been called a troll however in 15 odd years of using the internets however. But then trolling seems to have a rather different meaning these days.
