In reply to Alan James - UKC:
One or two things that would have made this article more "real"
1- who to climb with - subjective - and always on the lips of climbers who need to be encouraged by better climbers - but feel encouraged by similar grade climbers..
2 - types of rock and the strengths & weaknesses / problems they throw up for peeps -
3 - failure - how to keep on keeping on and not letting you get down - its a big thing when you see new boulderer's feeling as though they struggle and never want to do it again - then again - its mates that carry these people through the initiation with no help needed I guess!!
cheers
