Halifax bouldering in 1998 was a nascent sport. Before Ghislain arrived and brought NS bouldering into the modern era, Pumped Hammies From Outer Space 5.12b was the cutting edge of "hard" climbing in Halifax. Unsuprisingly, the grade, aesthetics, and ethics don't hold up to modern standards for a boulder problem, but in 1998 this was a futuristic line. Check it out for historical reasons, since it probably won't be around many more seasons. If you don't take it too seriously, you'll probably have fun on this bizzare piece of NS climbing history. To quote Guillaume: "you don't need to get very high to have a lot of fun."
