Rock climbing is a sport that is growing in popularity every year; some are attracted by curiosity, entertainment or by a desire to pursue other activities in the mountains. Traditional Climbing takes place in a mountain environment without the prior equipping of routes with protection or anchors, the climber advances placing his protection equipment (friends, stoppers, rock pitons, etc.) as he goes.
Sport Climbing is a variation of Traditional Climbing in which the routes are previously equipped with bolts for the climbers' protection; this enables the sport to be enjoyed with a higher degree of safety, minimizing the risk of accidents.
