Summary

This study looks back at the medical records of 176 adults who came to a major trauma centre with injuries from bouldering (a type of rock climbing without ropes). The goal is to learn what kinds of injuries happen most often, so climbers and doctors can better prevent and treat them. No new treatments are being tested — this is purely an information-gathering study.
