Bouldering is one of the most accessible forms of climbing ever. All you need is some climbing shoes and, if you have particularly sweaty palms, a bag of chalk. With these basic bits of kit you can now try and climb pretty much anything, from a lump of rock down your local park to an interestingly shaped building if you’re feeling adventurous.
