What is climbing?
Climbing is a sport and an adventure: you work your way up vertical rock using particular techniques and safety equipment.
It builds strength, balance, concentration and trust in what your own body can do.
You can climb outdoors on natural rock or indoors on purpose-built walls.
With an instructor to show you, you pick up the basic technique and the satisfaction of getting past your own limits.
