Bouldering

"Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs over a padded mat called a crash pad or bouldering mat so that a fall will not result in serious injury. It is typically practiced on large natural boulders or artificial boulders in gyms and outdoor urban areas. However, it may also be practiced at the base of larger rock faces."

​So I've just come to the realization this is a real thing and my new found need to climb the sides of large boulders and walls isn't me turning into Spiderman but rather a very common sport. Now to master this sport and find the proper shoes. These Vans can only endure so much. 

Climbed A Big Boulder/Rock Thing in Arizona...

​It was super fun and I felt very small;

and that, that was very awesome. ​

Arrived in Flagstaff, AZ...

Many, many hours later Adam and I reached Flagstaff. Arizona. ​

New Mexico was a bit flat and boring for a while but as we neared Arizona there were plenty of giant rocks and hills. Adam and I stopped and climbed some. I'll post those pictures in another update.​

Roswell as a city was boring, but watching the people was interesting. A lot like the Southeast USA then but a lot more Hispanic people. Quite beautiful seeing so many bilingual peoples. It's almost like being in another country. 

​But also a futuristic glimpse of what our country will be in the future; as far as language goes. I hope our country isn't like the Southeast in the future.
