Impressive climbing, but can someone explain why a boulderer needs to pack 3 beanies?

I pack 3 beanies. Compensating for lack of gear.

I imagine many of their easier 'new' problems at Buandik have been done before by locals. I know Dave Jones and pals did a heap of stuff there in the 90s. Heck, I've even been bouldering there at some stage in the past!

Yeah.. I did want to say that to them, but if it's not in a guide....

Anyone heard of Death of a God V13? Or Blast Off V10? These are somewhere on Mt Stapylton I think and for the love of smeg I cn find them! Bring on comprehensive guides!

I love how when climbers discover/establish new climbs/boulder problems (or think they have) they seem to lose all objectivity.

But isn't there a Grampians Bouldering Guide? Doesn't that cover anything that international visitors might be interested in? I'll go back in my box now.

Looks like an opening for a young man to make his millions and leave his mark.

It never ceases to amaze me how these freaks can climb really hard for weeks without a rest day. They must sleep well. No mention of hitting the cans either, that must help.

that must be the family friendly editing. there were no cans in the vegemite videos either, which in no way reflected the reality.

Could be more sponsor friendly editing than family... Or is that the same thing>

The problem is that boulderers don't need bolts / glue / drill bits etc. so there's no way of funding bouldering guides.
