indoor climbing

the act of climbing on artificial walls using ropes and harnesses for safety and training

Indoor climbing is a type of rock climbing that takes place on artificial climbing walls, usually inside a gym or facility. These walls are designed to simulate outdoor climbing surfaces and can feature different levels of difficulty, with various holds and routes. Climbers use ropes or climb without them depending on the setup, and safety measures like mats or harnesses are in place. Indoor climbing allows climbers to practice and improve their skills in a controlled environment, regardless of weather conditions. It is a popular activity for both beginners and experienced climbers.
