RO: Bouldering-ul este o forma de catarat care difera de escalada si alpinism prin aceea ca nu necesita ham, coarda sau asigurari, se practica pe bolovani in loc de stanci, si foloseste niste saltele pentru a evita accidentarile. De asemenea, e foarte util sa ai pe cineva care sa te "spoteze" atunci cand te cateri, adica sa stea jos si sa se asigure ca, in eventualitatea unei caderi, vei ateriza controlat pe saltea.
Bratilesti este un sat in judetul Buzau, langa care se gaseste un loc cunoscut de bouldering din Romania. Drumul pana la bolovani este unul anevoios, si recomand o masina puternica, inalta, preferabil chiar de teren. Zonele in care se afla bolovanii sunt f bune pentru camping, iar seara cerul instelat este foarte spectaculos.
Acest cache se afla pe Bolovanul lui Georgel, care este destul de inalt si prezinta mai multe trasee interesante. Pentru a gasi cache-ul, NU este nevoie sa va catarati pe un traseu in adevaratul sens al cuvantului, dar trebuie sa va urcati pe bolovan. Totusi, daca tot ati ajuns aici, recomand sa incercati si traseele, si sa veniti pregatiti cu saltele.
EN: Bouldering is a kind of climbing that is different from rock climbing in that it doesn't require harnesses, ropes or belaying devices, it involves boulders instead of cliffs, and it uses mats for protection. It is also very useful, when bouldering, to have someone around to "spot" you, meaning that while you're climbing, they make sure that, in case you fall, your fall will be controlled and will end on a mat.
Bratliesti is a village in Buzau county, next to which is a well-known Romanian bouldering spot. The road to the boulders is a difficult one, and I recommend using a powerful, tall, and perhaps off-road vehicle to get there. The bouldering areas are also great camping sites, and the starry night sky is truly spectacular.
This cache is located on Georgel's Boulder (Bolovanul lui Georgel), which is quite tall and boasts several interesting routes. In order to find the cache you do NOT need to climb any proper route, but you do need to climb on the boulder. Still, since you're already here, you might as well try the routes, and come with mats.
