You don't need ropes or hooks for bouldering. You can usually borrow shoes in the halls - and in a pinch, you can even start out with clean indoor shoes. Because bouldering is only a few meters above the ground - which is softly padded, of course - this sport is also ideal for beginners. But beware: It is still strenuous to shimmy up and along the walls. There are usually different routes with different levels of difficulty. A sense of achievement is guaranteed!
