Bouldering Essentials

In the last few decades bouldering has evolved from a means of training for ‘real’ climbing to one of the most popular rock climbing disciplines in its own right. Initially many climbers are drawn to bouldering’s simplicity but as they become more deeply involved they discover a complex pursuit, part dance, part martial art in which strategy, creativity and problem solving are just as important as strength.
