The biggest differences between bouldering and rock climbing are the highest at which each is done and the equipment normally used. Bouldering is done fairly close to the ground and uses crash pads and spotters, while rock climbers often scale walls that are hundreds of feet and use ropes, cams and bolts for safety.

Kargil region has a lot of rocks and boulders that have been opened by climbers in the recent years. Kargil is a paradise for both aspiring and professional rocks climbers. With hundreds of problems across many crags especially in Suru region, Kargil is waiting to be explored. Whether its trad or sport climbing, or just good old bouldering there is plenty of problems for all levels of climbers.
