I have decided that the Olympics Boulder and Lead combined competition is my summer equivalent to curling.

You can think about it and try to do your own problem solving and back seat coaching but once you get the basic rules it's easy to just see where the competitors are.

Similar elements of excitement and strategies.

OTOH speed climbing is just people running up walls on muscle memory and hoping to do it faster than the guy next to them.

So glad they dropped it from the combined event.
