In todays episode I’ll be talking on a few subjects to try and define what bouldering is.  I’ll start off with a short history of bouldering, touching on its humble beginnings in the forest of fontainebleau up to its boom in popularity in the 90’s. After that I’ll go on an try to form a simple and useable defenition for bouldering, so you’ll know what to answer when relatives start asking about your athletic endeavours next Christmas.

Further on I’ll touch on different types of bouldering, you could call them subsets. Such as Dyno, Slab, Crack and Highball routes. I’ll also adress the elephant in the room. Indoor bouldering and its relation to outdoor bouldering.
