In addition, climbing, or bouldering as it is called, was an Olympic sport for the first time in Tokyo 2020 (which was postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bouldering and climbing is a healthy and fun way to spend time with your family and friends in the outdoors. And it is easily combined with RVing and camping. Why not have an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rvplusyou.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RV delivered<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> close by the popular bouldering spots and hiking trails?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how can you be a sustainable climber? The use of chalk is, unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of the rise of climbing as a sport. It is very easy to see the climbing spots or bouldering rocks due to their \u201cchalk marks\u201d. This is not only ugly, but it is also damaging to nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be a more sustainable climber, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chalkrebels.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use liquid chalk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead of the traditional chalk powders.
