Rock climbers are adventurous individuals who enjoy scaling natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. They use special equipment like climbing shoes, harnesses, and ropes to help them climb safely. This sport requires strength, balance, and problem-solving skills as climbers navigate various routes, often referred to as climbing problems. Many rock climbers participate in different styles, such as bouldering, which involves climbing shorter walls without ropes, or sport climbing, where they use fixed anchors for safety. Climbing can be a social activity, with climbers often working together to support and encourage each other on challenging routes.
