Frequently asked questions
1. What are the benefits of bouldering?
- Answer: Bouldering is a great way to get exercise, build strength, and improve your climbing technique. It is also a very social activity, as you can often find other climbers at the gym to belay you or simply to chat with.
2. What kind of shoes do I need for bouldering?
- Answer: You will need a pair of bouldering shoes, which are specially designed for climbing on walls without ropes. Bouldering shoes are typically more flexible than shoes used for rope climbing, as they allow for more precise footwork.
3. What should I wear to go bouldering?
- Answer: You should wear comfortable clothing that you can move freely in. Avoid wearing loose clothing that could get caught on holds. Your local climbing gym will also offer rock climbing rental shoes. Avoid wearing normal shoes or not shoes while climbing as you’re likely to slip.

- Answer: Your feet are just as important as your hands when it comes to bouldering. Use your feet to push off of holds, to balance yourself, and to reach for higher holds.

- Answer: There is no hard and fast rule for when you are ready to try more difficult routes. However, a good rule of thumb is to be able to comfortably climb all of the easy routes in the gym before moving on to the intermediate routes.
