Bouldering

Bouldering is a form of rock climbing performed on low walls (typically 10 to 15 feet tall) without the use of ropes or harnesses. Instead, climbers rely on thick crash pads for safety. The goal is to complete short but challenging sequences of moves called "problems." Bouldering emphasizes power, technique, and problem-solving, making it accessible to beginners and demanding for experts. Unlike traditional climbing, you don't need a partner or complex gear—just climbing shoes, a chalk bag, and determination.
