Bouldering  is a form of rock climbing in which no ropes or gear are used because the climber is usually at a safe distance to withstand a fall.  Boulderers do bring pads with them these days to minimize injury potential.  The Muscatatuck Park is Indiana's best rock climbing area.  Many routes are a bit dirty, but it is still good climbing.  There is about a half a mile of cliff.
