Aaron's Sports History Highlights
Since the 1980s indoor rock climbing gyms have played a key role in introducing large numbers of people to climbing in a controlled setting, on short climbs. However, making the transition to climbing outside is not always easy. New skills and judgment calls are required outdoors, because real cliffs are subject to bad weather and other hazards such as loose rock.
Rock/Ice climbing in a Nutshell
Rock climbing shoes resemble toughened ballet slippers, made of supple leather or synthetic materials. They have sticky rubber soles, and toes and heel-liners made of rubber. Climbers use gymnastic chalk to dry sweat from their hands and fingers while climbing. Ice climbers use an array of sharply pointed tools, notably 12-point rigid-frame crampons, two ice axes, and ice screws. To protect against falls, ice climbers anchor an ice screw every 5 to 10 m, attaching their rope to the ice screw. Ice Climbing is much more dangerous than Rock climbing.
