SEARCH TIPS: BOULDERING & DWS

What is bouldering?

Bouldering is the simplest and purest form of climbing, it's climbing at low level without ropes, harnesses and other equipment. All that's really need is a pair of rock shoes, a portable crash mat and a chalkbag. Bouldering can be seen as an introduction to more technical rock climbing, or as just a great fun sport in its own right.

On this page we're listing multi-day bouldering holidays and residential multi-day courses, most of which will include overnight accommodation or will help participants find local places to stay.

 

What is Deep Water Soloing (DWS) or Psicobloc climbing?
Deep Water Soloing, also referred to as Psicobloc, is a newer style of climbing currently growing in popularity. It is solo rock climbing, very much in the style of bouldering, but practiced on sea cliffs at high tide or above any other deep body of water. It relies on the water at the base of the climb to protect any falls. Generally routes will have a high level of difficulty. For further information see here.

 

Close relatives to DWS would be coasteering and canyoning or gorge walking, so it would be worth taking a look at our dedicated sections for these activities too.
