Boulder Crushes Boulderer in Boulder, CO
|
Dab! Not what we usually mean by crushing a prob. |
|
"It was not immediately clear how Chapman became trapped under the boulder." In no way does this apply that he was a boulderer or even bouldering. Go bash on somebody else besides boulderers! Roped climbing is just "practice climbing" for bouldering anyway!!! |
|
You know I'm not even sure how he could have been "climbing". Last time I checked a washing machine was pretty small. I can't even think of a boulder like that next to one of the climbs up at flag. Could be just another case of people calling someone a "climber" just because they are near rocks. |

None of you have seen Little Devil, obviously. As for the boulderer bashing, it is tradition. It cannot be undone. |

You laugh, but there is a precedent at Table Mountain when a whole route peeled off from freeze-thaw one winter. |

I think it's the new gopher-start technique, there's a how-to book and movie on it from Utah. |

Wow - I wish I could "like" on MP - wanting to press something . . . |
