"Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs over a padded mat called a crash pad or bouldering mat so that a fall will not result in serious injury. It is typically practiced on large natural boulders or artificial boulders in gyms and outdoor urban areas. However, it may also be practiced at the base of larger rock faces."
​So I've just come to the realization this is a real thing and my new found need to climb the sides of large boulders and walls isn't me turning into Spiderman but rather a very common sport. Now to master this sport and find the proper shoes. These Vans can only endure so much.
