climbing route
Way up rock
A climbing route is a specific path up a rock face, mountain, or artificial climbing wall.
Routes are named and graded by difficulty, becoming part of climbing lore: She was the first to free-climb the route.
Climbers speak of "doing" or "sending" a route when they complete it successfully.
Indoor gyms set routes with colored holds to mark distinct paths of varying challenge.
