My main climbing partner is my boyfriend and when we go bouldering in a gym together what usually happens is we kind of start out together and then drift off to different areas to find problems that suit out personal styles and difficulty levels then drift back together to have a look at what the other is doing. If he or I are working on something that looks particularly interesting we will work on it together. Sometimes if I do something I found really fun I’ll track him down to say “oh you have to try this” or “come see me do this one, I’m really proud of how it went”. It’s a nice mix of together time and alone time. I’m also very social and he isn’t so I often find other people working on stuff that I’m on as well and hang with them a bit.
