sport climber
Bolted route ascender
A sport climber is someone who practices sport climbing—a form of rock climbing on routes with pre-placed bolts for protection, as opposed to traditional climbing where climbers place their own gear.
Sport climbers focus on gymnastic movement and difficulty rather than the self-reliance emphasized in trad climbing: She started as a sport climber before learning to place gear.
