yes and yes.
to be honest though, if i want to jump into water, i'll go to the top and jump; if i want to boulder, i'll do it low enough to be safe; if i want to climb, i'll get some ropes. that said, DWS is fun i suppose.

Its just like any other climbing, you still have to be focused. Some of the dws that I've done have little ledges just under the water.

We have a great spot 2 hrs. away but they banned jumping off so I am not sure what they will say about climbing up.

Not sure about that. Having another snow storm here in Colorado as I type. Although weekend looks VERY promising.

Yea, I keep forgeting. I guess being from the south, I don't think about snow. We don't see alot and we had a really warm winter. When I was in Germany 80 till 83, I got introduced to lots of snow during the winter. I will be in Boulder for the SRCFC National Conference in August, so I guess I'll finally get to see Colorado. I think we will be there for 5 days.

There is a great bouldering gym, "The Spot", in Boulder along with a TON of good outdoor climbing all around that area and Colorado.
