Bouldering is the fastest growing sector of indoor climbing, and a competition sport in its
own right with a world championship series based in Europe. Most commercial climbing centres
in New Zealand include a bouldering area. Climbing takes place close to the ground and often involves more sideways traversing than
vertical climbing. It can involve some of the hardest problems and most technical moves of any
climbing discipline. Bouldering can be enjoyed without the need for a belayer. Bouldering is also a good way to get started in climbing since both the equipment
requirements and risk management are minimal. All that's needed are a pair of cross trainers or
climbing shoes and loose comfortable clothes. The climber can jump back down to the ground, and a rope and belayer are not necessary.
Safety mats make for a fairly risk free landing. As a result they are popular with both schools and
tertiary institutions. To check out some of the Bouldering Walls that we have designed and built ... click here.
