Beginners to bouldering should know the 3-point rule. When bouldering you don't go too high, so falls can be cushioned by the soft mats on the ground.
The name is derived from the English word “boulder”, which means block of rock. Bouldering is no longer a fringe sport, as Fabian Pelzer, lecturer at the German University for Prevention and Health Management (DHfPG) says. The sport even had its Olympic premiere in 2021.
