boulderers
Unroped rock climbers
Boulderers are climbers who practice bouldering—scaling short rock formations or artificial walls without ropes, relying on crash pads and spotters for protection.
The sport emphasizes strength, technique, and problem-solving on routes called "problems." The boulderers gathered at the base of the rock, chalking their hands and studying the route.
