For beginners

What is Bouldering?

Bouldering is a sport where climbers ascend several-meter-high rock walls or artificial walls using only shoes and chalk.

Climbers use hand and foot techniques to climb specific routes called “problems.”

Problems are set with varying difficulty levels, ranging from easy ones to those that are challenging even for professionals.

①Preparing Your Gear

For bouldering, you’ll basically need just the following four items:

Comfortable clothing that allows easy movement
Bouldering shoes (available for rent)
Chalk and chalk bag (available for rent)

②Safety Precautions

Even if you follow all the rules, there’s still a risk of injury when bouldering. To minimize the risk and enjoy bouldering safely, pay attention to the following points:

Always trim your nails before climbing
Warm up with stretching exercises to get your body ready
Be mindful of other climbers to avoid collisions

③Head to Rock Spot !

Once you’re prepared, head to Rock Spot Yokohama!
You can visit our gym without a prior reservation. However, during busy times, priority will be given to customers with reservations.
