This is a boulder problem not a rope climb, albeit one that is rather tall at ~16ft/5m. They have a spotter and, blocked by the ferns in the foreground, some crash pads in case they fall. At v0, the challenge is more mental than physical. I was nearby, working on a different boulder problem much lower to the ground.
My kids roll their eyes at my cautionary "tales" - So I'll spare you. Going up is always easier than going back down, and I like to eliminate any chance of mishap. Besides, it's just practice.

These are my first films and my first experience with an analog camera.

"Technically" the 45p is an Elmar rather than Tessar clone (if we are to believe Leicas nonsense about how the Elmar is actually totally unique and different from the Tessar). The aperture is after the first element (like the Elmar) rather than behind the middle element (like on the GN and most Tessars). All of this is irrelevant if you're like me and you don't even know how to stop down the lens...wide-open all the time.

Totally understandable, everyone has a different tolerance for risk. For some people, bouldering is a discipline unto itself (not just practice for other types of climbing), but thankfully, there is all kinds of climbing to engage with, especially up there in Squamish! Many people go specifically for the bouldering, but if you want to rope up, there is sport climbing, trad climbing, single pitch, multi pitch.... all in a beautiful setting. I can't wait to go back.
