Rock Wall Climbing

A rock wall climbing is an artificially built wall with grips for hands and feet, used for climbing. Material used for constructing these walls include wood, bricks and multiplex boards which are thick and have holes on them apart from steel and aluminum which are more popular these days.

Modular hand holds are secured to the climbing wall using a nut that is t-shaped and specially made for this purpose. This nut is placed in every hole on the wall. Handholds are fastened to the climbing walls using a fastener that is engineered and also using the aluminum and steel walls which are manufactured.

The multiplex board is textured using paint with sand and also concrete. Apart from this, the rock wall climbing also contains additional structures like indentions and protrusions. These walls may also be shaped like an overhang or even like a crack or a hang.

Certain grips are large in size just like those used in outdoor rock climbing. Grips are also bolted on to these grips.

Indoor Climbing is more and more popular form of rock climbing performed on artificial structures that attempt to imitate the experience of real rock climbing but in a more controlled and safe environment.

The first indoor rock wall climbing tended to be made mainly of brick. Due to this the wall could not be made very steep and hand holds used had to be limited to a few varieties. This made the routes also very limited and uninteresting.

The most common method of building rock wall climbing involves screwing resin hand holds on to wooden boards. The boards can be of varying height and have a large assortment of holds attached. This variety has ensured indoor climbing becoming a very successful sport.

Indoor rock wall climbing has also seen an increase in fame in areas that are under constant threat of rains that make outdoor climbing locations inaccessible. Other than being offered an alternative at the time of rough weather conditions, many professionals find that they can get to the gym after finishing their work and still do climbing exercises even late at nights.

In order to improve in any sport, consistent practice is of great importance. Indoor climbing eliminates the necessity of taking a break from practice due to bad weather, busy schedules, etc. Proximity of these gyms makes it convenient to access this sport whenever we want to.

The propagation of indoor climbing gyms has made an increase due to their easy accessibility, and thus increasing its popularity with the common person. The environmental conditions range from the integrity of the climbing surface structure, to clothing equipment, along with the proper use of equipment can be more controlled in such a setting, indoor climbing is possibly a safer and friendlier introduction to the sport. In fact, birthday parties and children's teams are common at many rock gyms to have a different ambience.

This sense of safety has a downside of course - an amateur gym climber may head to the cliffs and find they do not have all of the necessary skills for climbing in a setting which does not have anchors fixed earlier.
