What is "rock climbing"?
Rock climbing is an outdoor sport where individuals climb natural rock formations or artificial climbing walls. The goal is to ascend to the top of the rock or wall using both hands and feet while relying on strength, technique, and problem-solving skills. Climbers often use safety equipment such as ropes, harnesses, and metal clips to protect themselves from falling. The difficulty of the climb can vary depending on the route, the type of rock, and the climber's experience. Rock climbing is both physically demanding and mentally engaging, requiring balance, coordination, and endurance.
