About bouldering

A fun, physically healthy and mentally challenging activity

Bouldering is a climbing discipline that takes place on lower rocks, natural or artificial, without the use of a climbing harness or rope. Climbers use only basic equipment such as climbing shoes and magnesium, which serves to keep the palms dry, which increases friction and improves grip.

One of the best ways to sharpen certain techniques and skills

For safety, special small portable mats are used if it is climbing in nature (crash pad), or classic mats such as those for high jump if it is climbing in the hall. In the halls, artificial plastic handholds are used to create climbing directions. They, of course, differ according to their difficulties and are marked as such, allowing each visitor to choose a route according to his climbing abilities.

An increasingly popular sport in the world

Sport climbing is a young, but increasingly popular sport in the world, which gained its final confirmation by being included in the family of Olympic sports. Modern sport climbing takes place in nature on natural rocks and in the hall on the so-called artificial rocks. While in nature the goal is to master a climbing route, i.e. a demanding ascent, artificial rock is mainly used for training and competitions. In both cases we distinguish the so-called lead climbing and bouldering. Lead climbing includes safety equipment that you need to know how to use, while bouldering is a bit simpler because we use the so-called fall protection. crash pads if we are climbing in nature or mats if it is a gym.

Sports for all ages

What is special about sport climbing is the fact that it can be practiced by all ages, from small children to the elderly. In the halls, even individual segments or parts of the hall are adapted to this.
