The truth behind my 'Ah so fun climbing meme' picture is following.

This bouldering area is a 20min walk away from my home. 

Many years this given block face give to me a bad vibes. I didn't like how crack line was going around of it and I always wanted to stay away from it. 

So, week ago one rainy day I finally have it and took my crowbar went to see what it was all about.

The crack between the main boulder and block was just 1-2mm and I had trouble to fit the crowbar tip in. I find a flaring spot, where I could fit in just 5mm of the crowbar tip and therefor I couldn't put too much force on it. Just light repetitive tugs. Same thing on other side of the block. 

After 5min work the 2m x 1.5m x 0.8m (so so bounding box dimensions) solid granite block came off with big thumpf! The separation faces told a very grim story. This death block was glued-in just with mud.

I ruined someones 6c boulder but perhaps saved someones bacon.

So, there you have it :)

If it’s really serious they will have doubles. 50/50 split and she gets the dog.

Here's how it will go:

You take your precious rack, I'll take the entire living room. You take your precious ropes. I'll take all of the kitchenware. You take all your camping shit. I'll take the bedroom furniture. etc. etc. etc.

She might sell you that couch you already  bought once, after all the ink is dried.

That's how it happened with the 2nd wife, but that was kinda how I wanted it to work out, so all was well.
