Bouldering Fundamentals
Learn the low wall's secrets — power, balance and falling well.
How it works
Bouldering is climbing stripped to its essentials — no ropes, no harness, just you, the wall and a crash pad. It is the fastest way to build climbing strength and the most social way to climb. This fundamentals course teaches you to read problems, trust your feet, and fall correctly from day one.
Over three sessions you will learn the beta-reading mindset, basic body positions, how to use your legs instead of your arms, and the etiquette that keeps the wall fun for everyone. Perfect for new climbers or sport climbers wanting to add a new dimension.
What is included
- Three progressive 90-minute sessions
- How to fall and spot safely
- Problem reading and beta planning
- Footwork and body-position drills
- Intro to dynamic moves and dynos
- Shoes and chalk included
