I gotta agree with Sissco Every competitor already knows the moves from muscle memory. The wall is always exactly the same, from the precise placement of the holds to their texture , and even the texture of the wall. When someone comes with a move to shave off time, like Reza, the world record holder, who literally skips the second hold, everyone copies the guy. It's literally like watching speedrunners but it lasts 6 seconds. It's still impressive to watch someone climb a 50 foot wall in a matter of seconds, but I feel it's way less interesting to watch than the other disciplines. Bouldering is great because each problem is unique and people can use their creativity to solve the problem in different ways depending on their physical ability. The people who come up with the problems most of the times already have a sequence of moves they want the climber to be forced to take, but competitors often try to "break" that sequence of move and come up with their own.

It’s very adaptable to your day to day changes (if I’m extremely tired or in extreme pain, I do easy movements and easier routes), the gyms are usually super chill vibes and people are always willing to help. Absolutely has been a life changer for me, been climbing for about 5 years now and I’ve never been so fit & strong.
