#2Bouldered a bit in college, feel like code challenge sites like Project Euler are like a programmer form of bouldering. you fail a few times, gain an insight, make some progress, finally get it, then feel a big rush of accomplishment.

42+ years old, climber since 2 years here, progammer since +30y.
Interesting comparaison, but bouldering problems relies on physical-traits that are harder to move up than the psychological-traits needed in Project Euler. ( think of size, balance, synchronicity ... ).
... but OK some PE are now too hard for me. Training during college would change the game.

#4In case anyone isn't already familiar with indoor bouldering, here's a great competition video: https://youtu.be/uHlV_nLLXLc?t=49
Cannot recommend bouldering enough. Problem-solving minds tend to love it.

#5I was lucky enough to have and Outdoor Education class & a great teacher in High School that got me into climbing, which turned into a love for Bouldering.
Its one of the things I try to get all of my friends into who want to do something more active in their life or just something fun. Too me its the perfect balance of physical exertion and problem solving. The community is also (for the most part) great to be apart.
If anyone has any questions about the sport I would love to answer them.

#6As much as I like the article, the title is flat-out incorrect. The most difficult bouldering problems aren't found inside a gym, they are out in nature. World Cup problems average V10ish, whereas the top climbers project V16 outside.

Yeah I struggled with grip after a point, would use the hangboard all the time. My frame is thin. Also just a lot of understanding how to move is hard to get.

#8I recently got into climbing (+ bouldering). Although I get super bored at regular gyms, I never bore of climbing, I think, because it's like programming -- for the body. Problem solving applied to an element that is both sociable and physical.

I’m more into mountain stuff when it comes to climbing, but I will be the first to say bouldering is such a beautiful balance of strength and finesse. It kind of has a “yoga” feel to it, in that it’s all about deliberate motion through the moves.

It literally says those things. It says boulder problems go up to v16, and that they aim for v10 at the comp.
