Lead climbing is a type of rock climbing where the climber ascends a long route while attaching themselves to a rope that they clip into fixed anchors or quickdraws as they go. The climber is responsible for securing the rope as they climb, and a person holding the rope below ensures the climber's safety. Lead climbing typically involves more sustained climbing than bouldering, requiring good endurance, technique, and the ability to manage the rope. The goal is to reach the top of the route without falling, but if a fall occurs, the rope will catch the climber. Lead climbing can be done both indoors and outdoors.
