What is Bouldering?
Bouldering is a form of rock climbing that is performed without the use of ropes or harnesses. While it can be done outdoors on small rock formations or boulders (hence the name), it's also commonly done at indoor climbing gyms on artificial climbing walls.
Unlike traditional rock climbing, bouldering focuses on shorter, more powerful and technical routes called "problems". Climbers usually stick to heights that allow them to safely jump down onto crash pads if they fall.
