artificial climbing

Artificial climbing refers to the practice of climbing on artificial structures, such as climbing walls or bouldering gyms, designed to simulate outdoor climbing. These structures use holds of varying shapes and sizes, allowing climbers to challenge themselves in a controlled environment. It enables participants to improve their skills, strength, and technique without the risks associated with natural rock climbing. Artificial climbing is popular for recreation, competition, and training, making the sport accessible to people of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced climbers. It was also included in the Olympic Games starting in 2020.
