Showing 1–24 of 40 results
Sport climbing is a type of climbing that is characterized by its focus on climbing as a physical activity and the goal of competing and overcoming personal challenges.
Sport climbing is practiced on natural rocks or on artificial walls built specifically for this activity. Climbing routes are designed to be easier to climb, with a series of holes in the wall for feet and hands, and each hole is numbered so that the climber can follow a route.
Sport climbing can be practiced individually or in teams. To compete in sport climbing, a number of specialized techniques and methods are used. These techniques and methods are designed to help the climber move more smoothly and efficiently, and also focus on safety and error prevention.
There are several types of sport climbing, among them:
Traditional or trad climbing: This is the most popular type of climbing. It is practiced on large natural rocks, with the aid of ropes, carabiners, safety lanyards and other protective devices.
Artificial climbing: It is practiced on artificial rock walls, as in gyms.
Ice climbing: This is a very popular climbing technique. It is practiced on rocks with ice or gel.
