Bouldering at HUT Moss

Bouldering – climbing without a rope or safety gear

This exciting climbing style originates from the 1850s and has become popular all over the world. Originally people climbed on large rocks and crags («boulders» in English), but today you'll find bouldering both indoors and outdoors. At HUT Moss we offer a wide selection of indoor bouldering routes, perfect for both beginners and experienced climbers.

Everything you need to know about bouldering

Wondering what bouldering is, how it works, and whether it's something for you? We get a lot of questions and have gathered the most important ones here: 

Is bouldering difficult?

Bouldering isn't a difficult activity, but it does require a lot of practice to get really good! Remember the climbing you did as a child? Bouldering is an activity that gives you the same joy and excitement without needing to learn complicated knots or take a course. You just use your hands and body to move across the bouldering wall and solve challenges (also called “problems” in boulder-speak).

What do you need to boulder? 

Climbing shoes! That's all you need to get started. We have climbing shoes for hire, so you don't have to invest in equipment before you've tried it. Chalk can be handy for a better grip for some, but you'll learn that over time.

Is it safe to boulder?

Your safety is our top priority! We have thick mats under every boulder to absorb the impact. We call these «fall mats».

What does «climb a boulder» mean?

Completing a climbing route! It can mean anything from mastering a single move to completing the whole route.

Is bouldering good exercise? 

Yes! Bouldering gives you strength, coordination, problem-solving ability and a good dose of endorphins. Good and fun for both body and mind.

What are the difficulty grades in bouldering?   At HUT Moss we have bouldering routes for all levels. Our colour codes make it easy to choose routes that match your skills. Our instructors are always on hand to help you find suitable routes and give useful tips.

Indoor bouldering at HUT Moss

Indoor bouldering is a perfect introduction to climbing! It suits both beginners and experienced climbers. It's also a social activity where you can meet new people, bring friends, or get to know our instructors. Our bouldering walls are lower than climbing walls, so it's easy to talk to others while you boulder.
