Yeah that’s why I wonder if there are regional differences. E.g sport vs lead climbing.

Highball boulders are pretty unsafe if you fall near the top. This is why climbers will top rope to figure out all the moves first. This might be true of short outdoor boulders as well just to save effort.
Then there are multi story bouldering walls where you fall onto a ramp. This type of wall will be taller than some rope walls.
Is this a UK thing? Rock climbing here in the US refers to all of it. And usually a gym with rope climbing will usually have a bouldering area. I don’t think I’ve been to a rope gym that didn’t have bouldering… hmmm maybe one small gym in Taiwan, but everywhere else either only had bouldering or had both.
And then where do you draw the line with highballs and non-rope soloing?
Who uses that definition? Bouldering is just a subset of rock climbing. It’s not even super black and white, since highball and free soloing exist.
What’s the difference between bouldering and rock climbing?

Note that it will warp further when you get it home since Home Depot wood is unlikely to be fully dried and the environment in your home will be different as well.
You’ll need to wait a couple of weeks to see what shape the wood settles into. If you try to build something now it might end up warping after construction.
Even if you’re working with S4S lumber you still need to let it acclimate and then finish milling it if you really need very square pieces.
It’s just extra information. Not an attack or disagreement.

Maybe only Ukraine right now is in a war economy?

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Is water an acid or a base?English61·25 days agoAlso I’m pretty sure it’s only coincidentally 7. The calculation for pH isn’t based on any property of water.
