What is bouldering?

Bouldering is the hip sibling of traditional rope climbing. The difference? No ropes, short walls, and interesting problems. It's kind of like solving a puzzle with your body, where you start on one hold and have to make your way to the top of your chosen route. It's a super fun sport with a very strong sense of community, just type in 'bouldering' on YouTube and see how many videos come up!

Fear of heights? No worries, bouldering walls only go up to 3 meters and most beginner routes are even shorter.

Even if you've never climbed or thought about climbing before, this sport is for everyone and an excellent way to meet new people!
