Have you ever heard of the word "rock climbing"? I think that many of the people looking at this page are interested in rock climbing. The literal translation of "rock climbing" is "rock climbing," which is exactly what it sounds like, but "free climbing" and "bouldering" are both types of rock climbing.
First, let's talk about the difference between "climbing" and "bouldering". First of all, climbing can be broadly divided into "sport climbing", which competes in speed and the number of walls climbed, "free climbing", which involves grabbing holds and climbing with your own strength without using any equipment, and "lead climbing", which is popular among advanced climbers who wear a harness and climb while setting a lead. Bouldering is a type of climbing, and it mainly involves free climbing, where you climb a relatively low wall, about 5m high, with your own body. Although skills and techniques are required, bouldering is a simple sport where you climb a wall with just your body, so the only equipment you need is chalk and shoes. As a result, it has become a familiar sport that anyone can challenge. In the 2020 global sporting events, "sport climbing", which is a combination of "bouldering", "lead", and "speed", has become an official event, so please try it yourself before watching the event.
