I know most of you sit at your computer 15 hours a day during the summer awaiting winter. I know some of you must climb though. Where I live we dont have very much sport or trad but we do have a lot of SICK bouldering. Im fairly new to the sport but its still alot of fun, and keeps you in great shape. Does anyone boulder?

bouldering is climbing without a harness. If you fall it is just on a pad. You dont climb nearly as high but it is usually more intense.

where do you live, and you probably want to go to a gym first to get comfortable then go outside because it is totaly different outside

ehhh it doesnt matter
if your doing it at a rock-climbing center then you can start from scratch
i was a weakling when i started with my bro and he taught me how to do it and i worked from there...i would suggest only trying real bouldering if you are actually amazing and not afraid of dying

Bouldering is the best, all you need are rock shoes, a mat, some chalk and a few buddies. Soo chill, so fun.
