climbing spots

Walls and boulders

Climbing spots are locations suited for rock climbing or bouldering—natural formations or indoor facilities where climbers practice.

The term appears in guidebooks and online forums: We found some great climbing spots outside the city.

A climbing spot might be a single boulder, a cliff face, or a dedicated gym with artificial walls.
