What is bouldering?
Bouldering is a sport that involves climbing on, over, and around boulders up to
approximately twenty feet above the ground. Participants employ no safety ropes.

focusing on basics
•places to climb, such as
climbing walls at gyms and
parks, easy to find
•less time commitment to
bouldering than to mountain
climbing
•intellectual and physical
enjoyment as one solves
problems Bouldering Terms
crimp: a very small handhold
foothold: a place where one may place a foot to aid in
climbing boulder
jug: a very large handhold that is easy to use
problem: The path up a boulder is referred to as the
"problem" that one must solve. The "solution" is the
sequence of moves one makes up and over a boulder.
Here is an example of a climber addressing a bouldering problem.
Figure 1: The climber has two routes she could take, one to the left and one to the right. The
left one appears easier because it has a jug within easy reach, but look what happens if she
chooses that direction. She gets stuck on the rock and has to go back down. Sometimes that
is even more difficult than going up.
Figure 2: The climber takes the one to the right this time. Using a foothold and placing her
right hand in a crimp, she is able to lift herself up and locate other handholds. After only a
few moves, she is able to throw her leg over the top of the boulder and pull herself up.
（1）Bouldering becomes popular because ______.
A it challenges the limits B it costs less C it builds minds and bodies D it is a team game
（2）According to the example, the right route is ______.
