Rock climbing is a sport where a person climbs rock formations, both natural and artificial. The main goal in rock climbing is to make it from the bottom all the way to the top or summit. Many climbers seek out climbs that will challenge them. This is why rock climbing is considered an extreme sport. Most of the extreme climbs are quite dangerous and require amazing skills to master.
Generally there are only two categories though. Climbing can be free or aided. In free climbing ropes are used for safety only and not used to help the climber in his effort. In aided climbing the ropes are used for both security and to help the climber climb. Free climbing is the most dangerous type of climbing, but it is also the most popular. Most climbs will fall into this category.
Within these two categories there are different methods of the sport. They all are rooted in either a free or aided technique. In addition to the two different categories, it can take place either inside or outside.
Bouldering is when a short, low route is climbed. No safety ropes are used. If there is safety measures in place it is usually a boulder pad placed at the bottom or a spotter that will direct the climber to help him or her avoid hazards.
Free soloing is when one person climbs without any protection. This is extremely dangerous since a fall can kill or seriously injure the climber. This is similar to bouldering expect that the routes are often higher.
Solo aid is free soloing but with the use of a harness for some protection. There is still no rope used. Generally the climber will free climb except in areas where the route gets dangerous.
Indoor climbing is done inside as the name suggests. This is popular because it is not limited by weather conditions. It is a great way to improve skills and to try new techniques. Many enthusiasts do a lot of work indoors to help them prepare for a climb. There are limits to indoor climbing. Most climbers will use indoor gyms to master skills and techniques, but will do most of their climbing outside.
Deep water soloing is a form of rock climbing that is done with no protection. It is a little safer than free soloing because the route in directly above a deep body of water. If the climber falls then they fall into the water, lessening the chance of death or severe injury.
These are not the only types of rock climbing, but they are some of the more typical climbing situations. There are many different techniques and methods of it that allow for climbers to challenge themselves. Different techniques are often used to suit the terrain of the climb. Anyone serious about rock climbing should try to learn a variety of techniques. This will help them to be able to become a better climber and have the ability to tackle a variety of different climbs.
