Top 10 Bouldering Videos

21st February 2018 | Words by Jack Hart @ WildBounds HQ

For the past month, we’ve been fixated on bouldering with our inaugural Boulduary campaign. Chalk buckets, overhangs, crash pads, crimping; you name it, we’ve been waxing lyrical about it in an effort to get as many people to their local wall as possible. It’s not just us, either - we’ve been inspired by some truly epic bouldering videos appearing across the web, from climbing in Wales to climbing around tables. We’ve been sharing these with you in our #DailyDetour but now we’ve collated the highlights right here for a rundown of the greatest bouldering content around. Once you’ve watched them, here’s some advice that you can take or leave - turn off the screen and head to the rocks yourself. Each one of these videos - with all their problems solved, routes set and, most of all, fun had - was created by someone actually out there climbing, with chalk on their hands and wind in their faces. Go and join them.
