Rock Climbing - The Problem Solving Process

i hadn't really taught nina talked about a bouldering round as like the problem solving process. Like, what's a better decision here? Why is there thumb chalk here? And why is the rubber facing this way? What are all these things for? i think the first two moves i try to do like, five completely different ways,. It's going from one foot to the other foot, to the otherfoot to the otherFoot and it came down pretty close on time. palmer was like, that was some pretty awesome problem solving. dude.
