  • Don't sit or stand under the wall when people are bouldering.

  • Problems finish on the last obvious hold. DO NOT grab or touch the top of the wall, or any girders, metalwork or lights.

  • Don't boulder with hardware hanging on your clothes or chalk bag.

  • Keep the mat free of objects and obstructions like bags, clothing, chalk bags, brushes, shoes etc. No food or drink on the mats.

  • THE SOFT MAT DOES NOT MAKE BOULDERING ANY SAFER
