climbing wall

Indoor rock face

A climbing wall is a vertical or near-vertical structure with handholds and footholds for practicing rock climbing indoors.

Climbing walls appear in gyms, recreation centers, and dedicated climbing facilities, offering routes of varying difficulty: The gym just installed a new climbing wall.

They simulate outdoor rock faces without the risks of actual cliffs.
