Bouldering is a type of climbing where without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs 10 to 12 feet in high so that a fall will not result in serious injury. These climbs emphasize power, strength, and balance. It focus is on individual moves or a short sequences of difficult moves, unlike the more traditional roped climbing, which deals with more endurance over with a series of easier individual moves.
