Climbing is inherently dangerous!
Exploring the éléphant area today highlighted that. Crash pads were often relatively pointless on the circuit I was playing around on. With either large traverses, easy highballs, or terrible landings. Leaving the pads off to the side and climbing like many did in the early days of bouldering with a pair of shoes and chalk. This allowed me to climb a ton of terrain by moving efficiently and being careful where it was needed. Climbing up a boulder then down the other side to climb something else right away was a real treat.

I call this one “there was a cool butterfly up there and it’s not that hard to climb so up I go”
