Belaying: 

Belaying is the process of securing and safeguarding a climber by using a rope to hold the climber’s weight if he falls. The ascending climber and the belayer, or the person holding the rope through a belay device, are a team that is linked together by the rope. Belaying is an important part of the climbing chain of safety and one of the most important skills that any novice climber must master to become a safe climber. You must be at least 14 years old to belay.

Bouldering:

Bouldering is non-roped climbing. The walls are generally 10' - 15' feet tall and if you should fall there are large gymnastic pads to break your fall. This type of climbing can be done without a partner and without any climbing knowledge. It is a bit more difficult than the roped climbing and you must be at least 12 years old due to safety issues.
