climbing gyms
Bouldering training facilities
Climbing gyms are indoor facilities with artificial walls designed for rock climbing practice and recreation.
The walls feature textured surfaces with colored holds bolted on, allowing routes of varying difficulty to be set and changed.
Most climbing gyms offer bouldering (low walls, thick floor mats, no ropes) alongside taller walls requiring harnesses and belay partners.
I started climbing at a gym before ever touching real rock.
