What are difference between climbing a rock and a wall?
It is as simple as what you are climbing. Wall climbing is an indoor way to learn about climbing, practice, train, socialize, and compete. This is a more modern way to expose people to climbing in a controlled environment. Rock climbing is the original activity. It takes place on real rocks. You can climb whole mountains, single pitches at a cliff or even boulders. Get out there and climb something! :)
What are the different types of rock climbing?
There is leading (when you clip in to quick draws as you climb higher), top roping (when the wall runs to the top of the wall from your belayer and back down to you), bouldering (shorter wall and no rope), free soloing (no rope at all climbing 30ft +), Deep water soloing (climbing with no rope over water), and multi-pitch (climbing more than your length of rope by having the belayer climb up and clip in higher on the wall and alternating belayers)
