How long do you boulder for in a day?

I was just curious how long you guys spend bouldering in a day at your local crag? I usually spend about 4 to 5 hours out bouldering after that my hands are pretty shredded and or my grip strength is gone for trying to continue projecting harder routes.

I always go sunrise to sundown.

Hour by hour:
1st spend an hour drinking coffee and stretching my fingers
2nd spend an hour choosing the right outfit to send in, begin chalking up
3rd spend an hour walking around the woods searching for mini rocks
4th get tired of looking, sit and smoke spliff
5th run into friends and talk seriously about my proj and learn their beta
6th find a mini rock and chalk each hold, brush chalk off, chalk again
7th tick marks
8th re-warm up, spliff may or may not be included
9th finally start cranking on mini crimpers and super steep pockets
10th sit on the pad and suss beta with arm motions included
11th talk to friends, flirt with bouldering girls, smoke spliff
12th send my proj, put both hands up in triumph - "Woo!"
13th walk out with iPhone lights because I don't have a headlamp

Usually I need to cut a couple hours because I only boulder in the fall or winter to maximize ideal sending temps.

Plan on getting out to the woods early to do some hiking and find some unknown rocks that are going to be out of this world.
Spend all night mapping out my search area with some known rocks to fall back on if i don't find crap. Wake up early get hiking, get pissed off that hiking is through uber thick crap forest.
Find some rocks, they suck, i try and tell myself they don't suck.
Almost step on a rattle snake and decide i'm done with this back woods hiking **** get me the hell out of here.
Spend an hour and a half hacking my way out of the mountain laurel jungle before getting onto an actual trail.
Go to fall back rocks, spend an hour spotting problems.
Jump on some warm up problems for 30 minutes then get to some projects.
Project for a few hours then call it quits when i run out of time and wish i would have just come to the fall back rocks to begin with instead of wasting my time in thick tick and snake infested back woods.

Then do it all over again the next week ;) The allure of finding unknown amazing rock is to great.

I made a day out of it when I went. I got there and hiked a bit looking for something I had missed. Then I go to a good warm up area and fail on a bunch of easy stuff. Then I tell myself I'm ready for my project that's way out of my skill range and get maybe 2 moves farther then the last time. Hike around some more then leave. I lived 30 minutes away from a good area but I never went there and just climbed without trying to clean new stuff.

When I go to lrc or a developed area then I show up in flip flops ready to crush .

Undeveloped area= 3 hours of climbing with a lot of walking around.

Developed areas =. Go until I'm useless, rest a few hours and go again until the sun goes down.
