Top rope vs bouldering reddit Hi! Hope that one of you had similar problem im facing right now, and would be able to help ;) I started climbing few months ago, firstly my friends took my outdoor and showed the basics of top rope climbing, then for the period i spend some time both outdoor (single pitch only) and indoor (mostly bouldering). You're doing it for the pure challenge of the movement. I am looking for a more aggressive style shoe as I've heard that these will give me the best performance, but I would like the freedom to go top rope for a few hours here and there. If anything loose chalk will begin to form in your bag from the chalk ball bouncing around in it. I climb about v3-4’s. Hard routes with long rests often burn a lot less than easier routes with shorter rests. Feb 21, 2025 ยท Bouldering is the practice of climbing short and challenging routes without the use of ropes or other safety equipment. Last week-end, I went trad climbing with a 40l pack. I go ~3x a week and find that the bouldering routes do not change enough :( but I used to climb at a pure bouldering gym in SF so I will never be satisfied again.
