cliff climbing
Vertical rock ascent
Cliff climbing is the activity of scaling steep rock faces, using hands and feet to find holds on the natural surface.
It overlaps with rock climbing but emphasizes vertical or near-vertical cliffs rather than boulders or indoor walls.
We spent the weekend cliff climbing in the canyon.
