rock climbing
Scaling vertical faces
Rock climbing is the sport or activity of ascending rock faces, cliffs, or artificial walls using hands, feet, and specialized equipment.
Climbing styles range from bouldering (short routes without ropes) to free climbing (using gear only for safety) to aid climbing (using gear for upward progress).
She took up rock climbing last summer.
