Bouldering is Training

Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Shelf Rd’s V3 Sand Gulch area, a true gem of a boulder awaits. As a seasoned climber, I’ve come to appreciate bouldering as a essential training routine, a captivating pursuit that hones movement and pushes boundaries. When the search for a climbing partner proves futile or during those precious off days, I venture into the realm of solo bouldering. It’s a unique and solitary endeavor within the climbing community, where one must tread the fine line between fear and triumph. Although the absence of a partner can pose risks, particularly on daunting high balls and explosive moves, the sheer adrenaline rush makes every ascent worthwhile. Join me as I unveil the untamed beauty of solo bouldering and the unwavering dedication required to conquer nature’s gravity-defying puzzles.
