The difference between bouldering and rock climbing

Bouldering is one of the most effective ways to improve rock climbing skills.

It can be divided into indoor bouldering and natural rock bouldering. The boulders need to be selected to be less than 3 meters in height and convenient for protection (without rope protection).

A bouldering pad (high pressure pad) is usually placed under the bouldering wall. At the same time, the partners should pay close attention to the movement of the boulders and be ready to protect them when falling.

The rock climbing project is mainly divided into speed climbing, difficulty climbing and bouldering. The speed climbing is the same route to see who is fast. Difficult climb is determined by the referee, and it is determined by the height of the climb. The bouldering is the selection of several routes to climb, and the number of people who completed the number of climbs is higher. The line difficulty is set by the linekeeper.

As a kind of climbing exercise, bouldering can greatly hone people's courage and exquisite climbing skills, thus making this sport extremely exciting. Especially in a tense competition, athletes must not only exert their own full strength, but also integrate endurance, flexibility and balance. They can use the difficult points on the rock wall to climb up, complete the manoeuvring, carry out the arrogance, and pull up. Such movements make the audience enjoy a beautiful enjoyment in thrilling performances.

The difference between bouldering and rock climbing is:

1. No need to install ropes, seat belts, fast hanging and other equipment protection, just lay a 30-50 cm thick sponge pad below the climbing wall to prevent it from falling off.

2. It is easily accepted by rock climbing enthusiasts. A pair of rock climbing shoes and a chalk bag can meet the needs of climbers.

3. Bouldering exercises are suitable for a wide range of people. Healthy people over 5 years of age can participate in bouldering.

The bouldering activity is very complete due to the current safety measures. Therefore, the safety is very high. In Europe and the United States, climbing activities are basically like the gymnasium. It is a fashionable and healthy sport.
