Information On Bouldering
And Bouldering Gear
Bouldering is the most simple type of rock climbing. We
climb on a small rock near the ground without safety points, ropes
and harnesses. The height of the routes is usually 1-5 m but
sometimes it is over 10 m.
In bouldering you can try again
and again very difficult moves with a minimum possibility for an
accident. That's why it is a game where you find your rock climbing
limits. The gear consists of the rock climbing shoes, the chalk bag
and a crash pad.
To escape from an unsolved problem you descend or more
often jump. For a right landing you must have in mind the distance
between the point you are on the rock and the ground. When you touch
the ground, bend your knees, don't have your legs close to each
other and exhale.
When you are bouldering with company, your partner can
decrease the velocity of the fall by grabbing you from your armpits
or waist. By doing this your partner also prevents you from hitting
your head or spine on the ground.
