Rock climbing is the art of moving over rock. And while rock climbing was originally a sub-discipline of mountaineering, it has become a discipline within itself, with many sub-disciplines of it’s own, including gym climbing, sport climbing, trad climbing, alpine rock climbing, aid climbing and bouldering.
