Climbing

Climbing is a popular outdoor activity performed in natural climbing areas and on artificial climbing walls. Climbing areas are usually low easily accessible unbreakable walls, sometimes just boulders (low rock blocks). Artificial walls are low (boulder) walls where no rope is used or high ones where the same rules apply as in a climbing wall.

There are more and more climbing enthusiasts. As a result, free climbing is becoming a popular tourist experience. Even if you are not a top climber, you can try your hand at climbing.
