Depends on the area, but for the majority of bouldering areas it's Fall.
There are exceptions, of course. For instance, alpine bouldering areas (like RMNP and surrounding) get a start in summer, as temps are milder at that time.
Other places, like Hueco Tanks, see a start in late fall and have optimal conditions through the winter.

To develop a bouldering physique, focus on strength training exercises like pull-ups, push-ups, and core workouts. Incorporate bouldering-specific exercises like hangboarding and campus board training. Consistent practice and proper nutrition are key to building muscle and improving climbing performance.
A verb because it ends in ing and a boulder is a noun.
To improve grip strength for bouldering, focus on exercises like dead hangs, finger curls, and pinch grips. Consistent practice and gradually increasing resistance will help strengthen your hands and fingers for better performance on the wall.
The most common danger of bouldering is broken bones due to a fall. One can easily slip on a rock and break a bone in the foot or arm. Another danger is getting hurt from debris from falling rocks which can cause one to loose balance or get hit on the head.

Bouldering involves climbing short, challenging routes without ropes, typically on boulders or low walls. Free climbing, on the other hand, involves climbing longer routes with ropes for protection. The main difference is the height and length of the climbs. Bouldering focuses on power and technique for short, intense moves, while free climbing emphasizes endurance and route finding for longer climbs. These differences impact skill development as bouldering hones strength and problem-solving skills, while free climbing builds endurance and mental resilience. Both disciplines offer unique challenges and opportunities for growth in climbing abilities.
When bouldering barefoot, it is important to ensure the climbing surface is free of sharp objects or debris that could cause injury. Additionally, climbers should be mindful of their foot placement to avoid slipping or falling. It is recommended to start with easy routes and gradually increase difficulty to prevent strain or injury to the feet.

Nobody gets weighed to climb. Almost anyone who can pull their weight can climb. Basically, the ropes used are strong enough to hold your weight if you can hold your weight. Obviously if one is too heavy to lift themselves; they won't be doing much climbing. There is always bouldering, which almost anyone can do. Bouldering is low to the ground and doesn't require ropes, just a 'crash' pad to fall on.
The focus of DPM Climbing is to inform and encourage the rock climbing and bouldering community. Relevant events are highlighted, and there are articles about the advantages of climbing gear.
