Bouldering is rock climbing in it's purest form - its all about movement and problem solving skills. You don't climb very high in bouldering, no more than four and a half meters, it is about difficulty rather than height. A boulderer seeks to use their problem solving skills, balance and strength to 'solve' the climb by deciding on what techniques to use and when. You need virtually no equipment and everyone can do it together, in the same space, at their own level of challenge. In a bouldering gym, all areas are mixed ability so you can climb with your mum, your kids, your partner, whoever - so you get to hang out with your favourite people while you do your favourite thing. Do I need an induction? When you check in for your first visit we'll ask you about your climbing experience. If you've climbed before you'll be asked a couple of safety questions just to check you remember everything you've learnt! If you've never climbed before, or you'd like a refresher, we'll send you off to spend twenty minutes with one of our coaches.
