thats pretty sick :) how far'd you get with it?
you didnt strike me as the intensely nimble type (no offense intended, you know what i mean i hope), so did you find it tough learning?


well I skateboarded for 6 years so that gave me some grounding, I am quite tall so i found it hard to forward/backflip, but wall runs we're all good, the most difficult thing to me was jumping out of car parks onto shit beside them, but yeah it was fun.

they have a sick bouldering room at the place i go, though i didnt get to go on sunday
i havent done it much, just really starting to get into it. mostly in on 5+/6 climbs.
wanna do bouldering too, all those harness wedgies annoy me, but ofc no free climbing on the faces.

the gym i go to has the best bouldering in all of scandinavaia! :DDD its fucking sick, theres about 5 bouldering room and then another really huge one where all the pros hang out B)

bouldering is the shit imo, builds muscle faster and you get more technique faster
