Bouldering

No authorisation is required for bouldering, however the following guidelines should be observed:

• Before bouldering can take place a full risk assessment should be carried out
• The feet must never be more than two metres above the ground
• Helmets and harnesses do not need to be worn for this activity
• Boulderers should operate in pairs with one member acting as the spotter to offer guidance and help to the other and ensure they land safely back on the ground.
• Leaders should ensure that the ground around the boulder is level with no steep run offs, protruding rocks etc.
• Bouldering should be run in an area where leaders have constant control of the entire group.
