    West eu. Not just treating it as such, it really is. In my country there are more boulder gyms than full on rock climbing gyms

      I think there’s usually going to be more bouldering gyms just because they’re easier to build.

      In general over here in the western US we’ll use rock climbing to refer to both. Usually we’ll just say sport climbing, top rope, lead, to refer to rope climbs.

        We have both here, but bouldering is just more popular. Before most cities only had top rope, but over the past few years boulder gyms are being build in huge sums
