Bouldering 🧗🏽♀️
A holistic sport for body and mind
What is Bouldering?
Bouldering is actually rock climbing but you're always close to the
ground and therefore doesn't require you to use a rope or harness. You
can practice bouldering either indoors or outdoors and all you need is a
pair of climbing shoes, some chalk and a crash pad. Indoor bouldering is
particularly popular and you can find bouldering halls in almost any
city!
Why bouldering?
Bouldering is particularly empowering and helps you to gain self
confidence by focussing on how your own body moves. Bouldering gets you
out of own comfort zone and it is quite challenging, especially when
trying a new route. Strenght and technique are equally important to
finish a route, which makes it very rewarding when you finally make it.
Bouldering is a social sport, getting pieces of advice and cheering each
other is part of what makes this sport something that you can do with
your friends.
