Climbing on your own can be
disspiriting. With a group of people
motivation is easier to maintain.
One of the best ways to harness this is to play the
bouldering game.
One person begins a bouldering problem of their
invention, but only does one or two moves.
The next person must repeat the first moves, and at
the end they add a move of their own.
This continues, the bouldering problem becoming increasingly
long and hence difficult.
There may be a tendency to attempt to show
that you are shit hot by adding a move
hat other people will find really difficult but this defeats the purpose
of the bouldering game. The idea is to create a long problem
which is not of a single persons style. This
forces each of the participants to try moves
that they would not ordinarily attempt
(tall climbers must use the techniques that
the short climbers employ and vice versa)
Climbers of mixed ability can participate
as the most fun is had when people put creative moves into
the bouldering problem
It is one of the best methods of training
amongst a group of people.
