'Thou shalt not 'boulder', you fanny."
Seductively spanking pebbles with a T-shirt whilst moaning about the temperature and deliberating over the arrrival of something called the 'jew point', sounds like something Hitler is experiencing in Hell rather than a noble pursuit.
The picture below shows a selection of 'solo-pads', a term coined by my chinese friend in Nottingham, jonnie reighton. Solo-pads can save your ankles should you fall whilst soloing, but the downside is that you get fewer cahoona points for using them.
The smallest one should be good for routes up to 10m. The medium one up to 15m and the large one up to 20m. Stack them on top of each other and you could climb to 40m in relative safety!! Remember to always wear a helmet when soloing. The body can sustain huge impacts, but a slight tap on the head could see you slapping pebbles before your time.
