Abstract in brief

This study explored the potential benefits of indoor bouldering as a treatment for depression, developing an eight-week program combining climbing with psychotherapeutic techniques and testing its effects on participants.
Participants were randomly assigned to either begin the bouldering therapy immediately or wait eight weeks; they completed assessments at four intervals to measure changes in depression and related skills.
Results showed that those who did the bouldering intervention experienced positive improvements in depression symptoms, with a moderate effect size (Cohen's d = 0.77), suggesting that indoor rock climbing might be a promising new therapy for depression.
