bouldering with Rolex

Went bouldering with the kids in Joshua Tree National Park wearing my trusted and reliable 116710LN that I have had for nearly 14y. Only mod is I brushed the bracelet a few years ago. I love this watch because I am not afraid to use it, unlike some of my other watches that I am too careful. Still keeps +1s/day (serviced once 7 years ago). The day before I went mountain biking and ate it once, adding a few scratches to the bracelet. Oh well...

Awesome, but in surprised there aren’t deeper scratches abs gauges, especially on the clasp. I have done my fair share of rocking climbing, bouldering

Actual bouldering as in climbing? Joshua tree is notorious for very hard bouldering. I would never dare wear my rolex climbing and I wear them lol. Great pic though.

I am not a climber, rather a rock hopper.
