Bouldering
Bouldering is an outdoor climbing activity that is a good starting point for outdoors rock climbers. The sport originated in Fontainebleau, France where natural sandstone boulders are in abundance.
Boulders can range in size from 1 meter (3.2ft) to 10 meters (33 ft) high. The challenge with bouldering is the “unwritten code of conduct” regarding the climb.
The bouldering guidelines require no rope assistance from above, no help from a partner and no climbing aids. It really is you against what nature has provided. A chalk bag is generally allowed and sticky rubber climbing boots are also an essential requirement.
