Dinosaur Mountain - Rock Climbing guide
Welcome
Welcome to Dinosaur Mountain - Rock Climbing guide, a free climbing resource guide. We offer free climbing information in the form of climbing news, climbing blog discussion and links to editor reviewed climbing web sites.
Climbing covers a range of recreational, adventurous or sporting activities involving using one's hands and feet to move up the surface of a steep object. Evolving from the pursuit of mountaineering, rock climbing is the scaling of steep rocky surfaces, usually using ropes and other climbing equipment for protection. This is then categorised as either free climbing, i.e., bouldering, free soloing, or rock climbing, (where ropes are used strictly for safety), and aid climbing, where you climb the equipment instead of the rock. In the modern era, indoor climbing allows rock climbing to be practised on artificial walls in a controlled environment, with professional competitions being held at a world cup level. At the other extreme, traditional climbing and ice climbing emphasise self reliance and meeting nature on its own terms.
The Climbing Word of the Day is Rope, be sure to check back tommorow for a new climbing word of the day.
Please make a climbing selection from the navigation.
