Boulderingseinät
Boulderingseinät are artificial climbing walls designed for bouldering, a form of climbing without ropes or harnesses that takes place on smaller, lower walls. These walls are typically made of plywood or textured plastic and are covered with various climbing holds of different shapes, sizes, and textures. The holds are strategically placed to create climbing routes, known as "problems," which vary in difficulty from beginner to expert. Bouldering requires strength, balance, flexibility, and problem-solving skills. The walls are often found in indoor climbing gyms and can be set up outdoors in parks or recreational areas. Safety is a key consideration, with thick crash pads placed at the base of the walls to cushion falls. Bouldering offers a challenging and engaging physical and mental workout, making it a popular activity for climbers of all levels. The design of bouldering walls can be diverse, including overhanging sections, vertical faces, and slab climbing, providing a range of challenges. Routes are often marked with colored holds or tape to indicate their difficulty and sequence.
