Indoor Bouldering Basics with Bouldering Techniques for Beginners

Bouldering is a sort or wall climbing where people don’t use any rope to climb. To me, the most accessible sorts of climbing are bouldering.

You don’t even need any specialist equipment; just kind of comfortable clothes and it’s a great way to kind of just kind of experiment and plays around with movement.

You don’t need to be taught, you don’t need formal instruction at all that’s just experimenting, playing around with different holes and getting used to how your body moves.

Not just up and down but left and right and overhangs and just kind of playing around with the fine adjustments that make so much difference to how easy or how hard the climates.
