Rock Climbing Gyms

adam 5 May, 2019

Rock climbing is a sport which has grown in popularity and is continuing to do so. For those who are giving it some thought, they may want to consider starting with a rock climbing gym. This can act as an excellent introduction to the sport and help with some of the decision making later that will be needed if sticking with it.

What is a Rock Climbing Gym?

These are commercial establishments which are designed to allow rock climbing enthusiasts to develop their skills. Some climbers want to stick with indoor climbing, while many others want to go the outdoor route. For them, the gym can be their starting point to familiarise themselves with climbing in general.

Learn the Terms

To become comfortable in the gym setting, it helps first to learn the jargon which comes with this sport. Many of the terms apply to the instructions that are going to be given at the gym during the learning stages. Terms such as chalking, bouldering, and belaying will be common ones used.

The Grades

At first for the newcomer to the gym, they may be a little intimidated by the grades, which refer to the different levels of climbing. New starters should just be concerned about learning the basics.

What is Needed

Every rock climbing gym is different as to what they offer by way of equipment use. Before joining a gym, an individual should take the time to see what they have to offer.

There should be plenty of these type of rock climbing establishments to choose from.
