Boulder Brighton : Climbing Centre Description
See our "What is bouldering?" website page for more details www. boulderbrighton.com/what-is-bouldering
Bouldering is rock climbing stripped down to its raw essentials. Leaving behind ropes and harnesses and just using climbing shoes and a bag of chalk over safety mats, your challenge is to climb short but tricky bouldering "problems" (a route, or sequence of moves) using balance, technique, strength, and your brain.
You don't need experience of lots of expensive kit to have a go - making it really easy to get into if you've never tried it before.
Every "problem" has its own solution, and to successfully climb it you need to work it out. Depending on your body shape and personal strengths, your solution could be different to the next person's. If you're tall, you might be able to reach the next hold more easily on spaced-out problems - but find yourself cramped when the route takes you into the nooks and crannies of the wall. It all evens out in the end.
The key to the problem could be about how you position your body when you climb, or what order you put your feet and hands on the wall - or there might be a sneaky "toe hook" or one of countless other climbing techniques that suddenly takes the problem from impossible, to crushed. You might need to refine your technique before you can do it - or train some more and get stronger!
The climbs are high enough to be exciting, but not so high that they're hugely intimidating. Using safety mats means that the risks of falling off can be managed, and leaving the ropes behind means that you are free to concentrate on the climbing, not the equipment. It's just you, the wall, and your friends on the ground egging you on.

They came, they saw, they conquered some slabs. And fell off. Quite a lot. A great time had by all - here are just some of the shapes thrown by our climbers over the night. Same again next year?!
Thanks to everyone who made it tonight for SLABFEST! Some tricksy blocs set by James McHaffie, Jack, Tom B and James G, definitely a bit spicier than last year but still a lot of tops had over the evening.
Big congrats to the SLABFEST masters for the night! For the women, all these scored more than 60 points, and for the men, they all scored at least 100 points. Anyone on the list qualified for the coveted SLABFEST masters t-shirt - if you didn't get yours on the night, come ...and see us over the next week!
The 2018 SLABFEST Masters were:
Saphia Enticknapp, Lauren Turrell, Anya Hmaimou, Evie Jordan, Megan Wyatt, Hannah Samuels & Erin Nann
Jonathan Sansome*, Ben Preston*, Tai Tewkesbury*, Jake Collins*, Roberto Kroonsare*, Alex Martin*, Jay Eddie*, Trevor Neale, Ricards Gravitis, Danny Cairns, Peter Howe, Stan Walker, Jonathan Match, Joss Nind & Mike Jarvie
*all these climbers topped all the blocs over the evening. Nice work.
The climbs will be (mostly) up until Wednesday, then they'll start to come down to make way for a lot of resetting over the next couple of weeks.
Hope you all had fun - some photos coming up soon.

Nathan Phillips is in the house today, fresh from his amazing performance at the Bouldering World Champs last week where he was the first male British climber to get to the finals since 2009.
He's set us 7 Whites (7A-->) and 4 Mints (4A-5A) on the steep to keep us all busy while our vertical and slab areas start to get stripped in preparation for SLABFEST this Friday! For more info on that, check out our website.
New Purples up today, grades 5B-6A+ from Tom B and Jack. Also a nice new Blue feature volume climb from Tom. And all above our lovely shiny new mats. Enjoy!
