    My coworkers say “welcome home” when we start the day… We talk about our time away from the shop as if it were just a quick run to do errands before returning “home.”

    That’s the beauty of self-employment if you get a solid client base. I work 4 hours a day at most. 2 hours on average. If I don’t feel it I don’t work at all. And that 4 to 5 days a week.

    Sorry for flexing. Don’t let somebody else extract most of your value.

    I find it a matter of doing stuff on your days off.

    I finish work on Friday at 12:00 (noon) and start again on Monday at 08:30.

    This weekend I managed to get in a run, a round of pitch and put, a bouldering sessions, a rock climbing session, and 80 balls at the driving range.

    Also spent an evening at a friends just smoking and chillin.

    It helps if you don’t have kids and a partner sucking up your precious time.

        As the other person has said one is without a harness and belay.

        To clarify as there seems to be some controversy.

        I call rock climbing anything with a harness, so indoor climbing wall or actual rocks. Bouldering is climbing boulder problems that are not that high and don’t require a harness. Again can be indoor or outdoor.

        Also, not sure why the controversy as my climbing gym is quite clear in this distinction. Like mine I think is the highest climbing wall in the UK and says we also have boulders. There other one is just bouldering and advertised as such.

          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?

            I guess it’s a height thing as to where you drank the line. Boulders are typically not that high and a fall from the top in a gym isn’t really going to hurt.

            Whereas even free soloing a belay route you’re going to be in trouble when falling off.

            My gym Depot Climbing has two in Manchester. One is purely bouldering walls and the other is roped climbing with a bouldering section.

            I generally use both terms when talking to people that probably don’t know about climbing as it’s a clear distinction between them both. Some people only do one or the other.

              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.

        Bouldering is done without a harness or a belay, it’s an individual sport, rock climbing can be a team activity.

          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.

            Sure that’s fair, we used to call it top rope and bouldering in my gym, but they could mean clbing actual rocks.
