What is rock climbing exactly?
Rock climbing is a sport in which participants climb
up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The
goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a usually
pre-defined route without falling. Rock climbing is a physically and
mentally demanding sport, one that often tests a climber's strength,
endurance, agility and balance along with mental control. Knowledge of
proper climbing techniques and the use of specialized climbing equipment
is crucial for the safe completion of routes.
