More from Swinging on the Rocks
Jul 28, 2016
Our July/August issue includes a story on bouldering — a blend of gymnastics and rock climbing — in the Black Hills. Stephen Gassman took photos of the adventure sport and even gave it a try. Here are some of his photos that didn’t make the magazine.

Bouldering is done without ropes or other safety mechanisms. -
Sturdy shoes and the use of chalk to combat sweaty hands help secure holds, but accidents do happen. -
Typically thick mats called crash pads are spread on the ground to absorb any falls. -
The sport is strength based and challenges endurance more than rock climbing. -
