A Problem to Solve

Rock climbing stripped down to its raw essentials, bouldering challenges you to overcome obstacles using only climbing shoes and a bag of chalk. In true bouldering, you leave behind the ropes and harnesses, and you rely on balance, technique, strength and your power to think on your feet. While leaving some equipment behind seems intimidating, it allows you the freedom to truly concentrate on the climbing and connect with the natural elements in a unique way.

It’s obvious that bouldering is a physically demanding sport, but brute force alone won’t be enough to get you to the top. Combine problem-solving skills and functional movement as you take on the “problem” – the route you take while bouldering – that’s in front of you. No two climbs are alike, and this sport is an opportunity to try different methods, skills and techniques to reach the top. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced climber, bouldering is the perfect way to test your limits.
