    Climbing low to the ground, no rope or other protection. You should go no higher than you can safely fall. This gym has 40'-50' of bouldering problems/routes and there's a nice 1'-thick soft mat below so falling isn't all that bad. I managed to do quite a few of the easier routes yesterday. Some of them are *very* tough (like crawling on the ceiling!) so it'll be a very long time before I can even attempt them...I was never that good even when I did it regularly.

    Edit: I should note that bouldering can be just as challenging (or even more so) as other forms of climbing. The gym has a SketchUp-rendered video of their facility...the bouldering section is the low bit in the back if you care to watch the video (http://www.sourceclimbing.com/#/about-us/facility). The part upstairs is for basic classes and kids' climbing/bouldering.
