The evolution of climbing

HOW THIS SPORT HAS EVOLVED?

 Well, there was not like a big evolution, but it has evolved to better.

In 1786 they climbed with normal clothes, and strange shoes that were not very helpful. There was no  place to climb properly or to train how to climb, the only place that you could go to if you wanted to climb was the rocks.

In the actuallity, you can find lots of places in the ones you can learn/train how to climb. Some of them are BulderPark, 7fun and more.

All those are closed places, with climbing walls that allows you to practice sport climbing or bouldering all year round, in the city, whatever the weather conditions.

Climbing is practiced both, inside and outside buildings and artificial structures.

I am going to tell you a curiosity: Antoine de Ville was the first to climb a wall, Mont Aiguille, in 1492. It is about 300 meters of vertical ascent with a horizontal summit. At that time it was inaccessible, so de Ville built a scaffold. So it is not considered climbing as such. But it did create a precedent in the history of climbing that triggered the desire to climb places that previously seemed impossible to reach.

TYPES OF CLIMBING There are different types of climbings, the most basics are: I ce climbing, dry-tooling, mountaineering, solo climbing, hill walking and scrambling are also all under the umbrella of "climbing". Rock climbing is the most commun, and from it we can get two different types of climbings,  which are Free climbing  and Aid Climbing. From the Aid one we don't get anyone but inside the Free one yes, the Roped and the Unroped. In Unroped we get Free Soloring and Boultering, and from Roped, Lead Climbing and Top Rope. Finally, inside the Lead one we find Trad Climbing and the Sport Climbing. S ome people love climbing but are afraid of falling. For those people, the solution has been to do indoor climbing. Within these there are two options: with harness or without harness. If you have a harness, the walls will be higher and the harness will protect you, plus you will have a mat below to prevent any injury. In the ones without harness, the walls are usually lower

CLIMBING  TO THE   SUCESS                                       "Every small step counts in the climb to the sucess" Hello everyone, I am here again!

Benedict de Saussure wanted to know the height of the peak, and offered a reward to anyone who could find a way up it. Paccard's ascent was the first of many. Many people wanted to emulate his steps.
