Headed out Saturday for a week of Hawaii fun and hope there's a couple of rocks that aren't a) crumbly volcanic choss or b) razor sharp volcanic choss waiting to cut my nipples off. Saw some DWS at the End of the World but not much else. Beta?

This is like a rub it in your face post. Like, I'm going to Hawaii bitchesssss so enjoy the SNOW, fuckers! Oh, and are there any bolderings there because LOOK AT ME HAWAII!!!!!!111.
Seriously.
I should start a thread called "Any BOLDERS near Ovrfiend's Mom's House?!?" Cuz I'm going to be there while you're off on the Big Island... and I need something to do on my rest days.
Btw... when your nips get cut off, take pics!

I didn't find much to climb... but there's too many other things to do to worry about it. Seriously.

bouldering in Hawaii is like surfing in Arizona - fundamentally missing the point.

Your hate only encourages me. And yes, my life is better than yours.
BTW, planning on Flagstaff the first week of March, anyone want to climb?
PSS Elblat, are you coming to Hueco Feb 13-21?

Yup. No rocks. There was a 300-foot long traverse on the wall outside our condo that was a fun morning warmup until the condo association bitches got mad and asked me to stop. Hueco in 3 weeks!

Video reactions:
- Chossssssssssssss...
- You think 5.10 is the sponsor of this video, but it is actually the rating of EVERY CLIMB shown.
- I feel sorry for Hawaiians who can't surf.
- Not even amazing scenery can make spurtclimbing videos interesting.
- Uberchossssssssss...
Thanks for sharing!

funny when you've "been around" someone for nearly 10 years, they become predictable. i was gonna post something this mornin' like "Lox ain't gonna like sport climbing videos on his bouldering site. He'll be all 'Getz outz chuffzorzers!' or something." but i didn't.
however, i have to agree with some of your points. climbing in hawaii is like surfing in Utah: what the fuck?
my impression of the vid was that it very much resembled the climbing in the Owens River Gorge.
