Alright, boulderers don’t actually suck, or at least I don’t think they suck. But this sketch from Australian group CrackerMilk makes a very good point. If you’re in a heat of the moment scenario, and you need someone to climb and rescue someone or something, can you really trust a boulderer?
If you’re entirely confused by this bit, which is probably likely if you’re not a climber, bouldering is a form of climbing that’s done on smaller rock formations, where ropes and harnesses are traded for pads underneath. If climbing with ropes is like long distance running, bouldering is like a sprint. Boulderers often visualize the route before they get on the wall, mimicking the moves they’ll make with their hands. Sorry to explain the joke, but that’s the joke.
