Bouldering and the Sun Spot
Last Updated on: 31st March 2023, 10:53 am
We all know about spotting in bouldering, but what about sun spotting? That’s what I’m calling the technique that you can see in this video from 0:39 to 0:46. The spotter is holding up a small pad to block the sun and keep it out of the climber’s eyes. Neat little trick, one that I’ve never thought of doing before.
