In this post we will cover equipment basics when bouldering outdoors. This will include crash pads or boulder mats, climbing shoes and chalk. The equipment I use after years of trail and error are Black Diamond crash pads, La Sportiva shoes and Black Diamond White Gold chalk. I also use liquid chalk in the hotter months and on longer boulder routes, as it stays on the hands longer and eliminates the need to carry a chalk bag when climbing, which is useful on shorter boulder problems.
