Boulder problems

Boulder problems are specific routes or challenges climbers attempt on short, sturdy rock formations called boulders, usually no taller than 15 feet. These problems require climbers to use strength, technique, and problem-solving skills to complete the route from start to finish, often without ropes. They are typically marked with colored holds that indicate the level of difficulty. Climbing boulder problems emphasizes power, balance, and precise movements, and they are usually performed in controlled environments like indoor gyms or outdoor boulder fields.
