Ranked #288 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads
May 28, 2008
Feels great to land on, no hurt feet for me. Great for 'regular' bouldering (maybe up to ~10 ft up if problem goes straight up). Slightly sketchy to try to hit from high up, 3 ft by 4 ft is a smaller target then you'd think. I'd definitely recommend a significantly larger (in all dimensions) pad and/or adding some friend's pads if you plan on getting to a height were you'd normally think about clipping into pro when climbing.
