    Bouldering is done without a harness or a belay, it’s an individual sport, rock climbing can be a team activity.

      Who uses that definition? Bouldering is just a subset of rock climbing. It’s not even super black and white, since highball and free soloing exist.

        Sure that’s fair, we used to call it top rope and bouldering in my gym, but they could mean clbing actual rocks.
