What is Bouldering?

Bouldering is climbing without a rope on shorter walls. All you need are a pair of climbing shoes and chalk if desired. No experience is necessary, but here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Warm up properly.
  • Be mindful of your surroundings and those climbing around you.
  • When you're done with a boulder problem, either climb down (recommended) or if you decide to jump away from the wall, tuck your arms in and land on your bottom while rolling onto your back in one motion.
  • Have fun!

Intro to Bouldering

Designed to provide first-time climbers with the tools they need to have a successful day on the wall. This class will go over climbing basics such as how to use your climbing shoes effectively, how to avoid over-gripping, establishing efficient movement, and basic body positioning techniques.

No experience necessary! Please book a class in advance.

Experienced Climbers

If you're new to Sender One, but not to climbing, here are some tips to help get you on the walls right away!

General House Rules

  • Climbs follow the same colored holds
  • Boulder problems finish with two hands on the last hold
  • Holds under the tag are fair game
  • Volumes are on only if they are the same color as the climb
  • Aretes are on and cracks are off unless otherwise noted on the tag
