Bouldering

Once used as a training method, bouldering has become a means to an end for many who boulder exclusively. Boulder problems range from a few moves to many extremely intricate techniques. Bouldering allows climbers to focus mainly on the crux of a problem with out the hindrance of a rope. The equipment used for this climbing method include climbing shoes, chalk bag, and a crash pad. The challenge of bouldering vary with each unique problem and many boulder problems can be climbed in different ways. Just remember that rock climbing is an inherently dangerous hobbie so always check and double check all of your gear and anchor points.
