The Best Bouldering Gear

Bouldering is a fast growing sport that tests your strength, balance, and problem solving skills. Bouldering gyms like J2 Bouldering, in London, Ontario, feature hundreds of short, intense, climbs that will challenge you physically and mentally. Having the right gear will make your experience the best it can be.

Climbing Shoes

Climbing shoes are designed to provide the grip, support, and precision needed for indoor climbing. With hundreds of choices on the market it can be overwhelming trying to choose the right one. For a beginner climber, you don't need to purchase shoes to get started. We offer shoe rentals for just $6 so you can try the sport before purchasing any gear. If you decide to purchase shoes, especially as a beginner, make sure the shoe is snug but not too tight. Your toes should touch the end of the shoe, but not be crunched up. We also have shoes from major climbing brands available for purchase.

Chalk

Maximizing grip is key to getting the most out of your climbing. Climbing chalk helps absorb sweat and improves friction against the holds. Be sparing!--only a little bit is needed. We have chalk for rent, and also sell bags of chalk if you prefer to have your own.
