Ranked #301 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads
August 16, 2008
I've always had my eye on doing dynos, and I know of a couple that require nothing more than a crash pad to safely do them. I looked, and looked, and looked for a pad that was worth my money. I finally settled on the cheap bastard, right price, right cushion, and all that jazz. I have relentlessly worked on those dynos since I got my pad. Only injuries I've sustained were on my hands due to the dyno, nothing on the ground. I love this pad, and recommend for anyone not climbing to some risky heights.
