A boy clambers barefoot up a tree. He does it for the pure of joy of climbing; Why doesn’t matter. It is exciting, new and there is a bit of danger. The thrill of adventure in going somewhere he has never been. Historically, rock climbing is one of the components of the broad adventure sport of mountaineering. Along with snow and ice climbing and hiking, rock climbing is one of the methods used to reach the summit of a peak. Originally this was its only justification; it was one of the roots of the tree of alpinism. Gradually however, it has developed into sport in its own.
AS ROCK CLIMBING IS TO MOUNTAINEERING,
SO BOULDERING IS TO ROCK CLIMBING.
