is rock climbing and bouldering different?
There are like... five(?) different types of climbing:
Top-rope - when the rope is going through a pulley or some such thing at the top of the wall.
Sport - where the rope is on the ground and you clip into protection as you climb.
Trad - where the rope is on the ground and your place your own protection to clip into as you climb.
Speed - there's a pre set top-rope route where people compete to see who can climb it the fastest.
Bouldering - shorter (but often harder) climbs that are only like max 12 feet and above mats, so you don't need a rope.
thanks for the reply mate... nice piece of information.
