Bouldering is the purest form of Climbing. No ropes, no harnesses, nothing, just you, some climbing shoes, a little chalk for your hands. Though that may sound like a cakewalk when compared with rock climbing, it isn’t. Bouldering makes up for its lack of vertical distance with technical difficulty.
