Climbing Green Spider Hereford

Bouldering session at Green Spider in Hereford 🧗

If you've never tried bouldering it's great fun and good exercise for body and mind!

So what is the difference between bouldering and climbing anyway?

Climbing uses ropes and harnesses and a belay partner to scale a wall and focuses on strength, technique and endurance.

With bouldering the focus is more on technique and solving interesting problems, there are no harnesses or equipment needed, because of the limited height and use of thick crash pads below.

Green Spider have both climbing and bouldering but I've chosen bouldering for this event because I feel like its a more beginner friendly option and another benefit is that because there's no equipment you don't need any training to do it

Entry is £12pp and you can pay on the door at arrival, there is also the option to rent climbing shoes for an extra couple of pounds which if you ask me having tried with and without, its 100% worth it

This is an open event, once we get there I'll be there to say hi, and help everyone get started, but I'll also be encouraging everyone to explore the wall and challenge yourselves to try different things. The event is from 8-10pm but you're free to stay for as little or as much time as you like
