Bouldering

Bouldering is rock climbing in its simplest form, as it requires very little equipment. All you need is some climbing shoes and a chalk bag to get vertical. Bouldering problems are shorter in height and therefore do not necessitate the use of a rope or harness. This is a great activity if you’re looking to work on technique or if you have an aversion to heights.

Roped Climbing

Climbing with rope and harness is a popular way to experience the sport. This style utilizes both a climber and belayer connected by a rope through an anchor at the top of the wall. As the climber ascends their belayer manages the rope to keep them safe in the event of a fall.
