Gym Climbing
What it takes
Gym climbing is the practice of rock climbing indoors on artificial walls equipped with bolted plastic or resin holds. It offers a safe, controlled environment for training, featuring techniques like top-roping, lead climbing, and bouldering. Gyms are popular for developing strength and technique, often used for skill-building before climbing outdoors
