Climbing is the activity of using one's hands and/or one's feet to ascend a steep object. It is pursued both recreationally, either to get to a destination otherwise inaccessible, or for its own enjoyment, and also professionally, as part of activities such as maintenance of a structure, or military operations.
Climbing activities include the following:Rock climbing: Ascending steep rock formations using the hands and feet. Additional equipment such as ropes and camming devices are normally employed.
Ice climbing: Ascending steep ice or hard snow formations using the hands and feet and special equipment designed for the purpose.
Tree climbing: Ascending trees without harming them, using ropes and other paraphernalia. Less competitive than rock climbing.
Buildering: Using the hands and feet to climb urban structures, avoiding normal means of ascent like stairs and elevators.
Rope climbing: Climbing a short, thick rope for speed. Not to be confused with roped climbing, as in rock or ice climbing.
Pole climbing (gymnastic): Climbing poles and masts using the hands and feet.
Pole climbing (lumberjack): Lumberjack tree-trimming and competitive tree-trunk or pole climbing for speed using spikes and belts.
Rock, ice, and tree climbing have a common feature: all three normally employ ropes for either safety or aid. Pole climbing and rope climbing were among the first exercises to be included in the origins of modern gymnastics in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The sport of Mountaineering usually requires rock and/or ice climbing.
