safe landing.

- land on both feet evenly — collapse your knees & roll onto your butt.
- never land on straight legs.
- always avoid rotation when jumping or falling.
- let the mat absorb your impact.
- practice falling from a low height to gain confidence first.
bouldering etiquette.
- shoes & shirts should be worn when on the wall at all times.
- if a climber is already on the wall, let them finish before you start — identify if their climb will cross paths with yours.
- if someone has just brushed a climb, it’s their go next.
- help promote a safe bouldering environment by watching out for people around you.
- spoiler alert — ask before giving advice on a boulder someone else is working on.

- after topping out, keep clear of the edges of the top out boulder.
- use the fluoro pink ladder to climb down.
- check the down-climb ladder is clear before descending.
