All about Rock Climbing
Rock climbing means climbing walls or rock faces using your hands, feet and sometimes ropes for safety. Climbers plan routes, called problems or lines, and use grips and footholds to move upwards. Indoor climbing walls are a safe way to start.
Climbing builds strength, balance and problem-solving skills. Climbers always check their equipment, follow instructions from a qualified instructor and use a belay system with a partner when climbing with ropes.
