Fall but don't Fold

Ranked #91 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads

I threw one of these pads down below a route I was setting at the gym the other night and took a fall onto it from about ten feet up. I was surprised to find that it absorbed the impact completely even though it is only 3 inches thick. My only complaint is that since this pad doesn't have a hinged center, folding it to carry is a chore.

So how is it for outdoor climbing? I'm looking for a good pad, but I'm not sure what to get.
