gym climbing
Scaling artificial walls
Gym climbing is rock climbing practiced indoors at a climbing facility, using artificial walls with manufactured holds.
The controlled environment offers consistent conditions and safety systems, making it accessible to beginners while providing training grounds for experienced climbers: I got into gym climbing before I ever touched real rock.
Distinguished from outdoor climbing on natural formations.
