Today Max, Adrian, Ben and I are going rock climbing at Boulders Climbing Gym. When you go to Boulders, it is always a good idea to go in groups of two because one person has to belay the other one so they will not fall and break something. "Belay" means using a rope to secure the climber.
At Boulders some of the walls are really hard. One some walls, parts of the climb are vertical to the ground. On these climbs strength is important but you also need to think about where you put your feet and hands. Oftentimes, the belayer will tell the climber where to put their hands and feet because they can see parts of the wall that the climber can not. There are also walls that you can climb without a harness. This is called bouldering. These walls are low and if you fall you will not get hurt. I enjoy the challenge of bouldering because you must keep climbing at all times. My friends and I are definately going to go back to Boulders soon.
