It is, but it's so so fun. I've never loved a sport like it. Your mind clears, you feel connected with your body, your balance improves, your grip is stronger, the people are friendly. The only downsides are that gym memberships can be expensive and you gotta be careful to not get hurt. But I've gotten many scrapes and bumps.

@Cristyface4 ай бұрын
@@Impositivelygay Bouldering, depending on the gym, doesn't go up so high. Plus, there's padded floors so it won't hurt if you fall. The only thing to do is to actually learn how to fall safely. I have a friend who is scared of heights but he's able to boulder and even top rope (style using the harness) and I think it's helped him. When we hiked he couldn't look over the edge of the cliff though, but I don't blame him.

The first time I ever saw Alex was when I was following the Magnus Midtbø channel and Magnus turned up to meet Alex for a visit in the US and Alex took him freesoloing when Magnus really didn't fancy it (Alex suggested it as a surprise on the day), but he didn't want to back out so the pressure was on. That was my first impression of Alex and I don't think I can ever quite forgive him for it. We could have lost one of our European best. 🤣
