Indoor rock climbing

is a fun and safe sport for all ages. Climbing facilities provide a controlled, supervised environment where novice through professional climbers can exercise in an enjoyable way. Trained staff teach the necessary safety techniques, and climbing gear is available for rent or purchase. Thousands of indoor climbing gyms listed world-wide operate for you to enjoy. Take advantage of this fun sport!

A climbing wall

is an artificial structure comprised of shaped climbing holds that are attached to the surface both randomly and in specific routes. Before starting, a climber is secured with a safety harness to a climbing rope. It is then travels to the second person on the ground called a belayer. The belayer ensures the safety of the climber by controlling the tension, giving or taking as the climber ascends to the top. As climbers improve their climbing technique they usually purchase their own equipment. The basic items to get started include a pair of rock climbing shoes, a climbing harness, a belay device, and a chalk bag.

Climbing facilities

offer climbing classes in varying degrees of expertise. They are very popular venues for organized groups, like children's birthday parties or scout events. Some facilities offer high ropes courses which can be used by individuals or corporate teams. Portable walls, cargo nets, a zip line, Burma bridges, and other unusual features are representative of these courses.

The benefits from indoor climbing

are many. Climbing exercise engages all muscle groups simultaneously, including balance, which is as important as raw strength--but it's a "thinking challenge" too. Indoor climbers must figure out a doable sequence of moves to complete the route. Climbers learn mental control as their skills develop. Plus, there is a strong social aspect to indoor climbing. Indoor climbing is fun, exciting, physically beneficial, mentally challenging, and socially enjoyable. Give indoor climbing a try and get hooked.
