my strength and technique however... It's what's kept me from seriously tackling bouldering so far.

FWIW, when I started (about 10 months ago), I obviously didn't know anything about technique, and had all the strength you'd expect from someone who's spent a good twenty years avoiding all sport-type activities with fear and loathing.

(I think I am semi-officially the worst person who's ever been on the bouldering wall's induction course, apart from the person who refused to get on the first problem. By about halfway through, the instructor was reduced to saying things like "You fall well!" in a desperate attempt to be encouraging.)

And I've been boggled by how much progress I've been able to make in a fairly short space of time.
