Rock climbing is a great adventure sport for individuals of all ages and ability levels. Individuals navigate up a route on natural rock formations. Routes vary in steepness and difficulty, with the goal to be able to reach the end of a predetermined route. Beginners often climb what is termed as “top rope” or “sport routes” where a rope is attached on one end to the climber, coming through the top anchor and then connected to the belayer.
Climbers can progress to “lead climbing” – setting the route and building the anchor; “multi-pitch climbing” – climbing multiple pitches or sections of a route to reach the predetermined end, and “trad/traditional climbing” – where the climber uses specific equipment to climb routes that include cracks and other natural features. Outdoor rock climbing is highly accessible throughout Canada and North America and a great way to experience the outdoors.

Rock climbing outdoors is a great sport to get into. Often called “sport climbing”, outdoor rock climbing can be done safely all over Canada. Not sure how to get started? Here are some tips:
It is important to have the proper equipment in order to stay safe when outdoor rock climbing. Equipment required to rock climb includes: helmet, harness, rock climbing shoes, and belay device. You will also need a rope and the proper gear to build an anchor point if lead climbing.
Safety is very crucial when rock climbing outdoors. Some of the hazards climbers may face include rockfall, weather changes (common in the mountains), minor personal injuries, improper use of equipment, and gear failure. That said, there are a number of things climbers could do to mitigate these risks and stay safe.
Canada is home to a range of rock climbing spots. From the west on Vancouver Island to the east in Newfoundland and Labrador, there are a number of great spots to climb all over the country.
