What is Bouldering?
Bouldering is climbing low enough that you do not need a rope or harness to stop your fall. At Aiguille, we have a line painted on the wall at 4 feet. No one is allowed to boulder high enough that their feet pass this line. Staying below the height that you feel comfortable jumping down from is important. You know your own personal limits better than we do, so stay within them. Some people say “What fun is climbing without going up high?” You can boulder from one end of the gym to the other, which is longer than any roped climb. We also have a special boulder area that has caves, rooves, and other interesting features, while still staying low. Aiguille recommends the use of at least one spotter while bouldering.
