Bouldering requires a minimal amount of gear compared to other styles of climbing. But that means the gear that you do use when bouldering is all the more essential. From crashpads for protection to chalk for sticking a hold, our wide selection of bouldering equipment here at addnature.co.uk has you covered.
Bouldering doesn’t require very much gear – unlike roped climbing, you don’t need a harness, anchors, or rope. But there are a few essential items that you should have for bouldering:
When it comes to choosing a crashpad, you have to balance protection and area against weight. If you’ll be carrying your crashpad miles to the local crag, a smaller and lighter crashpad will be much better than a heavy and more protective pad. On the other hand, if you can drive right up to the wall, you can bring a thicker pad that offers more support in case of a fall from high up.
There are a huge variety of chalk bags for every need. Large bags that are designed to hold an entire bag of chalk are perfect for a full day of bouldering – you can leave them at the bottom of the wall and re-chalk your hands or refill a smaller chalk bag as needed. Smaller chalk bags that can be tied around your waist with a belt are perfect for re-chalking your hands as you climb. For these, consider whether you prefer having loose chalk in your bag or a chalk ball that prevents dust from flying everywhere.
The biggest difference among bouldering tape offerings is their width. When choosing the width of tape you need, remember that you can always rip tape in half or lay two strips next to each other.
You could go searching for the right bouldering gear for your needs at multiple climbing stores. Or you could make finding the perfect bouldering supplies easy by browsing our huge collection of crashpads, chalk bags, tape, and brushes here at addnature.co.uk.
