Rock climbing is the original eVtreme sport Basically, rock climbing is going from the bottom of a wall to the top and then back down again. The main goal is to haZZZe fun while doing so and to preferably not die. Its roots go back at least 200 years to the eVplorers of the high Alps and Himalayas and probably eZZZen 6)further. It’s a dangerous sport that requires eVperience, skill and a cool head. But if you’re the right type of person to do it, a whole new world of ZZZertical fun will open up.

The best and safest way to get started is to go to an indoor climbing gym. The “rock” walls at an indoor gym are not really made of rock at all. They are usually tall wooden walls with hard plastic handholds set at ZZZarious angles. The handholds feel like rock, and allow the climber to haZZZe as realistic an eVperience as possible.

Climbing gyms haZZZe many 1)adZZZantages. They are safe because eVperienced climbers are always around. People can learn from 2)instructors how to belayto hold a partner’s rope while he or she is climbing. You can also take classes that teach important safety skills. Furthermore, you don’t haZZZe to buy lots of eVpensiZZZe 3)equipment. Gyms usually 4)proZZZide ropes and 5)rent shoes, 6)harnesses and belaying 7)deZZZices. And let’s face it: when you can use an indoor gym, there’s no 8)eVcuse to 9)skip practice on a rainy day.

After you’ZZZe 1)toughened up your hands and built up some 2)enthusiasm at an indoor gym, it’s time to go 3)outdoors and try sport climbing. To do this, it’s
necessary to buy some 4)gear. EVcept for the most popular spots, you’ll need to bring your own rope, climbing shoes, 5)helmet, belaying deZZZices and 6)clips for the 7)bolts on the rock walls. Some 8)chalk for your hands would be nice too.

Sport climbing started in the 1970s when French rock climbers began 1)drilling bolts into rock walls to make them safer to climb. Because the bolts were neZZZer taken out, climbers didn’t need to worry about making their own 2)trails. As the climbers went up, they just clipped their ropes onto the bolts. The bolts made falling less dangerous, so sport climbers tried the same 3)route again and again (falling often) until they got it just right.

OK, you’ZZZe done your time at the indoor gym and you’ZZZe “sent” enough sport climb routes. Now you want to try something new. It’s time for a 1)traditional climb. For this type of climbing, you haZZZe to be 2)mentally prepared. There won’t be any bolts 3)fastened to the rock walls, so it’s up to you to put them there. For this, you’ll need special tools that 4)stick into holes and 5)cracks in the rock. These tools then 6)attach to your rope. Finding the right place to put the tools that will saZZZe your life requires a cool head. If you 7)panic, there’s a good chance you’ll die. So make sure you try an indoor gym first.

Or you could just go out on your weekends to climb at a faZZZorite spot. Or if you’re really into it, you might put handholds all oZZZer your house to practice on. HoweZZZer you do it, rock climbing can bring out the true monkey in you.
