Sport Climbing
Know About the Sport
Sport Climbing or also known as artificial Rock Climbing is an emerging sport in India. Since 2021, this sport has also got a recognition at Olympic levels. Needless to share the good news that Sport Climbing will be an official event in Tokyo Olympics 2021.
Climbing wall is an artificially constructed wall with grips/holds for hands and feet, used for climbing. The concept of the artificial climbing wall began in the UK. The first wall was created in 1964 at Leeds University by Don Robinson, a lecturer in Physical Education and founder of DR Climbing Walls, by inserting pieces of rock into a corridor wall. The first commercial wall was built in Sheffield. Artificial walls were being used for climbing as a quick practice environment for rock climbing, when actual rock was unavailable. Over the years, it has developed into a professional independent sport. READ MORE.
