Bouldering is one of the most effective way to improve both power and technique. The style of Bouldering unique to the sport. The routes are typically short and require high strength, vs endurance as in lead or top roping. The routes are interesting, dynamic and powerful, and do not require ropes or a harness or belay partner. Due to the lack of traditional protection, the height of routes is in the range of 12' or 4m. Many Climbers prefer this to any other form of the sport. Now, almost all indoor walls and gyms offer a Bouldering cave or dedicated area within the gym. Bouldering has evolved and matured into its own style and category of the sport.
Bouldering requires the least amount of Climbing gear. All you need for Bouldering is:
- Rock climbing shoes
- Chalk bags
- and a padded place to land or crash pads
