Climbing (Rock Climbing)

Rock climbing is a recreational activity that involves scaling natural rock formations or artificial climbing walls. It requires strength, endurance, agility, and mental focus. Climbers use a combination of techniques to ascend, relying on their hands and feet to grip holds. Safety is crucial, so climbers often use harnesses, ropes, and protective gear to prevent falls. Climbing can be done indoors or outdoors and has various styles, including bouldering (short, intense climbs without ropes) and sport climbing (using fixed anchors for protection). It promotes physical fitness, problem-solving skills, and a connection to nature.
