\"Bouldering

Bouldering means no harness… there are mats below though!<\/p><\/div>\n

The cold winter months have descended onto Cardiff, but indoor climbing can keep you fit in the warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

When winter arrives, it can be tempting to curl up indoors and throw your exercise plan out the window. However, indoor climbing is a great way to stay fit and avoid the cold.<\/p>\n

Boulders in Cardiff offers indoor climbing facilities to all ages. There are two types of climb: standard and bouldering. <\/span><\/p>\n

The former is the classic rope, harness and safety line combination, in which you scale a high wall and abseil down when you are finished. The latter, bouldering, is a free climb. You scale a smaller wall, then climb back down.<\/p>\n

\"Some

Some routes are easier to climb than others<\/p><\/div>\n

Kirstie Ewer (21) is an avid boulderer who has attended classes for over a year. She believes the sport is a great way to stay fit. \u201cYou have so much fun you forget you are exercising! I lost a tonne of weight and gained muscles for possibly the first time in my life,\u201d said Kirstie.<\/p>\n

As well as being a sport, it\u2019s also a great social spot. Kirstie said, \u201cIt\u2019s social because you need a partner to top rope or spot you when bouldering, and it\u2019s an easy way to make friends with like-minded people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben Garcia (36) has been indoor climbing for six years. He said that what started as an unusual stag party evolved into a weekly way to keep fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would always pile on the pounds in winter,\u201d Ben said. \u201cThe gym bores me and I could not face running in the cold. But indoor climbing is fun, challenging and indoors!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really important to stay active during the colder months. I find it helps keep away colds and sickness, as well as keeping me happy. It makes me feel less guilty about gorging at Christmas too!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
